''West of the Moon'' -- Enchanting coastal cottage embraces sparkling water views of Ryefield Cove and Whitehead Passage. The wide wrap around porch is not only a charming feature, but also where you will want to entertain, dine, create memories, unwind. The oversized lot features a sunny, grassy lawn, vibrant perennials, trees & shrubs, plus a delightful circular patio with stone wall accents. A short stroll may find you on the rocks at Picnic Point, or on a nearby sandy beach where you can savor the refreshing waters of Casco Bay. Inside, classic elements abound. Original beadboard walls and ceilings anchor the cottage's vintage appeal. The first floor offers a bedroom and full bathroom, laundry room, galley-style, eat-in kitchen, dining room and living room with fireplace. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms - one with a custom closet wall - and a 2nd full bath. The ferry landing, dining, and shops are nearby and downtown Portland is a short ferry ride away. Peaks Island welcomes those who wish to retreat and recharge as well as the active adventurers. While listed as ''seasonal'' the cottage is served by public water and sewer and has been occupied year round. Tasteful vinyl siding and newer roof shingles are welcome upgrades.
