Property Description

A 'Feel Good' Place

Special properties evoke powerful feelings…this is definitely a SPECIAL property, and the feeling is NOSTALGIA.  A flood of warm & fuzzy clichés will hit you the minute you step inside this cottage-by-the-shore on Hermans Island:  “stepping into the past”, “the way it used to be”, “good old times”.   The actual vintage of this time capsule of cottage life is the 1950s, but the picture could as easily be a Norman Rockwell 1920s Saturday Evening Post cover.  Indeed, one might even say that this cottage, when built, was a faithful re-creation of that earlier vision of family escape to the shore, or the woods for that matter.  It is picture perfect in every rusticated detail right down to the open-studded walls, big beach-stone fireplace, bunk-bedded sleeping chambers and wide expanses of multi-pane porch windows framing the iconic island-dotted waters of Mahone Bay.  The sepia-toned walls are a gallery for hanging photos of family events, beachcombing finds and the amateur art renderings of several generations.  Tables and DIY shelves are stacked helter-skelter with books with worn covers, a reminder that a lazy autumn afternoon curled up with a good book is still one of life’s great solitary pleasures.  But when solitude gives way to a multitude of celebrant visitors, there’s yet more accommodation to be found in the adjacent bunkie with its own WC…yep, more bunk beds.  Ahh…this is the life as it was, and should be again.  Can’t you just feel it?
