This charming, c. 1909 cottage is the perfect year-round getaway! Located on peaceful Great Diamond Island in Portland, it is just a 15 minute water taxi or a 30 minute ferry ride away from the mainland and the Old Port restaurants and shops. Nicely sited in the Diamond Cove Association, ''The Gatehouse'' as it is called, is less than a half mile from the marina and the Ferry landing. It's an easy walk, but if you prefer to ride, the HOA provides transportation to the Casco Bay Lines Ferry for all members. This end unit is private with just one abutter and pride of ownership is evident here. The interior is tastefully done, and the 20' ceilings give it a spacious feel. It is in move-in condition, and most furnishings are included. The kitchen is nicely updated, has stone countertops and ample storage - and it opens to the living area where a large drop-leaf table can expand the dining area to accommodate up to 8 people. The living room features bookcases and a working fireplace for those chilly winter nights, and there is gas central heating. The master bedroom opens up to a large screened porch offering a lovely 3-season living space overlooking the gorgeous gardens. The second bedroom has lots of bookcases and storage and opens into the living room; it can also be used as an office or den. The full bath is nicely updated and even has a towel warming rack. A large cedar closet is ideal for storage and contains a pantry cabinet. Like a page out of Better Homes & Gardens, the stunning landscaping is sure to impress - and there is access to a shared garden shed across the street. Enjoy morning coffee or happy hour on one of the two porches - and those cool summer nights around the firepit! HOA Members have access to a fitness gym, inground pool, a basketball court, a game room, tennis courts, walking trails, and Sea Glass and other beaches. Seasonally, Diamond Inn is open for overflow guests and 2 wonderful restaurants are within walking distance!
