Remarks
DRAKES ISLAND - Set back from the road under a stand of mature pines that gave the cottage its name, Pine Cottage has been in the same family since the 1930's. Just moments from the sandy shores of Drakes Island Beach, this inviting home captures the essence of Maine living with a bright front porch and sunroom, welcoming outdoor spaces, and easy access to the area's natural beauty. The home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an oversized, surveyed lot with room for lawn games and expansion. Pine Cottage lives large with an open concept first floor plan, including a dining room that has hosted four generations of the same family. Built in 1900, the cottage is believed to be one of the original homes on Drakes Island, and at one point, served as the community house for the 1920's island colony. The Drakes Island Improvement Association offers recreational facilities including clubhouse, classes, day camp and tennis. Membership is optional at $200 per year. This charming coastal retreat delivers an exceptional location near beaches, nature preserves, local restaurants, and all that Wells and the Southern Maine coast have to offer. Enjoy morning walks by the ocean, relaxing afternoons on the deck, and breathtaking sunsets in one of Maine's most sought-after beach communities. A rare opportunity to own a piece of the Maine coast in a premier Wells location. For more information, contact listing agents Margaret Mitchell and Sharon Beaudoin of Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty.

My Background

I am originally from "away", the North Shore of Massachusetts, about 45 miles south of York, Maine.  I attended college in Washington D.C. at Catholic University of America, where I received a Bachelor of Music degree.  I also hold an M.B.A. in Finance. My first professional position was as a financial consultant for a Big 8 accounting firm. I went on to a Vice President position with a money center bank.  I was based in Manhattan, but moved to Madrid, Tokyo and London and traveled to many more countries. In my childhood, my extended family always went to Wells Beach. They still do! But like many who have summered here, I moved to York Beach full time in 1997. I really love Maine, and all it has to offer. It is a wonderful place to live. In my spare time, I like to walk on the beach with my two dogs, play tournament poker with a vengeance and make an occasional trip to Flagler Beach.

I am also a partner in a building company so I know homes from the ground up!  I love showing property and you will find my enthusiasm infectious. Buying or selling a home is a major financial transaction. You will find that I have the education, expertise and energy to help you make the best decision for you
