Capture this rare opportunity on Little Diamond Island and become stewards of this beautifully appointed and meticulously maintained waterfront cottage. On the Greater Portland Landmarks registry, the Mary Ellen Moore cottage was built in 1911 and is located on the southwestern part of the island. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath seasonal cottage sits pristinely preserved atop an elevated 1-acre plot, soaking in expansive views from Portland Head Light to the east, as far as Falmouth to the north. Enjoy the lights of Portland's skyline with front row seats to the traditional July 4th fireworks. Owned and maintained by the same family since the 1950's, thoughtful care of this historic haven is evident throughout. The cottage is sold fully furnished and holds a mixture of charming original pieces, tasteful new additions, and modern upgrades and conveniences. The tasteful simplicity is warm and welcoming, only outshined by the breathtaking views of Casco Bay from every room. Just 1 mile off the coast of Portland, Maine's largest city, and accessible by ferry, water taxi, or private boat, Little Diamond Island is rich in history and community. This is a true summer retreat that only comes along once in a great while.
