Property Description
A year-round Peaks Island Retreat. Nestled close to the convenience of town, this charming Peaks Island cottage offers the best of both worlds: a comfortable year-round home and a peaceful retreat from the bustle of the mainland. The original home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced with a number of recent additions, including heat pumps, solar panels, and a sauna that can be started remotely--perfect for warming up before you even arrive home. Set on a generous double lot, the property offers plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, with raised garden beds, fruit trees, and established blackberry bushes. A new woodshed adds practical storage while complementing the home's inviting island character. With its blend of original charm, modern improvements, and room to garden, relax and enjoy island life, this is a special Peaks Island property that feels equally suited to everyday living and getting away from it all. Professional photos to be added soon.
