Completed in 2021 by a professional builder with 50+ years of experience under his belt, this neat and tidy house melds the austere, clean lines of a Classic Maine Cape with modern efficiencies, conveniences and predictability. When we first arrived at 701 Wallston Road everything about it reminded us of a dear book from childhood. The beloved children's classic ''The Little House'' came to life with all the sweet promise Virginia Lee Burton was able to capture when she wrote, ''Once upon a time there was a Little House out in the country. She was a pretty Little House and she was strong and well built...The Little House was very happy as she sat on the hill, watched the countryside around her and watched the sun set in the evening.'' Sitting soundly on an elevated rise of granite outcroppings with striking views of Watts Cove and the Saint George River and offering front row seats to unforgettable sunsets in any season; lovely, well-planned gardens surround the property with mossy granite ledge, pine trees and native flora rounding things out nicely. Water views from virtually all rooms courtesy of a floor plan that flows effortlessly, striking the elusive balance of ''not too big and not too small'' and true, one-floor living. The outside living space offers a fenced-in backyard and a deck overlooking the front lawn and Cove. The barn, with water views all its own, could remain a workshop or be transformed into a guesthouse, rental cottage, entertainment space, art studio, retail space, home office; the space is certainly large enough and is simply a gracious blank canvas. 701 is ideally located mid-peninsula making the smaller community center of Tenants Harbor Village and the larger, service center communities of Rockland, Thomaston and Camden all easily accessible. Saint George doesn't roll up the streets in the ''off season'' - this is a vibrant, welcoming community with a full calendar of year-round activities, events and opportunities to become involved.
