Attention friends and family!

We have been hard at work this past year renovating a turn of the
century (that's 19th century, folks) house located at the corner of
Harbor and Bayview streets, here in Belfast, Maine. This
labor-of-love-house is across the street from where we live, in a
wonderful area with terrific neighbors in a great small town here in
midcoast Maine. Any of you who have visited Belfast know all the great
details that add up to make living here so wonderful and satisfying.

Now that renovations have been completed and outside landscaping is in
progress, we wanted to offer this gem first to people we know and care
abouteople we would love to have as neighbors, whether full-time or
for the summer season and other vacations. We have not listed with a
realtor yet, so this is a great opportunity to save some money, and
also to take advantage of newly-lowered interest rates.

This is a first quality offering and if we didn't already live across
the street and love our house, WE would be moving into it.
Midcoast Maine has not lost as much value in the recent market slump
as other areas, and has continued to appreciate in value overall. This
region continues to be a destination for retirees, artists,
vacationers, and for people with start-up businesses, and many others,
and homes in our specific  neighborhood are highly-sought after,
especially an ocean view property with a very large open lot in front.
There will be a view easement on this lot to protect the views of this
house and our house across the street.

If you are intrigued or someone YOU know might be, please let us know,
pronto (as in "ASAP").

In the meantime, here are some descriptions, as well as helpful links
about Belfast (see far below).

We have a vibrant downtown, numerous local businesses, no mega malls
or big box overdevelopment to make the town look like Everywhere Else,
USA, a great bay for sailing, a great arts community, alternative
health care (including 4 acupuncturists of which I, Rhonda, am one as
a Dr. of Asian Medicine), a large and community-oriented,
community-owned food cooperative,  3  independent bookstores, Maine
department store Reny's for clothing and housewares, local hardware
stores and building supply businesses (NO Lowe's or Home Depot), The
Green Store for environmentally-sound products, and Colburn's, "The
oldest shoe store in America" (really!), among other local stores, and
community radio and public radio as well...

Belfast has been listed as one of the 100 best small art towns in
America, with lots of small galleries, an arts center offering
classes, shows and events. We have several venues for local theatre
productions and the National Theatre Workshop of the Handicapped
offers classes at its Belfast campus. We also are the home of the
University of Maine's Hutchinson Center
(http://www.hutchinsoncenter.umaine.edu/), which offers classes and
degree programs.

Hope you all are well and enjoying autumn.
Love,
Petra and Rhonda
