Just a short stroll from the Ferry Landing, the village and beaches, 42 Epps is ready for summer enjoyment. Open the latch to the picket fence and relax. Built in 1978, this 3 BR, 2 Bath year-round home features a wonderful Kitchen with large island, barnboard countertops, newer appliances and a large pantry. While there is much to appreciate outdoors, you will love having a Dining Rm for larger indoor gatherings. There's a great office nook (with a water-facing view) for everyday business. The large Living Rm has a pellet stove and there is a 1st floor Bedroom that overlooks the neighbor's nature-friendly garden-yard. A half Bath with w/d, another Half Bath and a ''Bonus Room'' make this a comfortable floorplan. The second floor boasts a spacious primary BR with nice views of the bay, a cozy second bedroom and another full bath. The Kitchen connects to a private sunlit side yard with shed. The low-maintenance landscaping is truly lovely: trees and shrubs including lilacs, apple, rose bushes, variegated dogwood, weeping birch as well as gorgeous perennials - peonies that are preparing to burst with color and fragrance, astilbe and more. This is a fantastic entertainment home--well-loved/cared for by current owners. Bring your bikes for fun, but leave the car at home. This home is close to everything, including Portland's Old Port which is 25 minutes from your front door!

This 30+/- year old home is served by public water/sewer and offers a full basement and an attached 1 car garage--prized amenities on Peaks. Bring your design/decorating ideas to an interior that features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, skylights loads of light and water views. Located adjacent to the primary, the fourth Bedroom would make an ideal full Bathroom. The large lot is surrounded by natural buffers and wildlife; it is a lovely 15 minute stroll to ''down front,'' and a 15 minute ferry ride to the Old Port. Enjoy all that the city of Portland has to offer then retreat to the coastal serenity of Peaks Island. *Interior photos were shot during an extended period of dreary weather and do not begin to capture the expansive front row view of the gorgeous shoreline
