Agent Description

Step into history with this remarkable property, originally the Pendleton School, Islesboro's main elementary school during the 1800's until the early 1950s. This former schoolhouse has plenty of potential. Currently operating as the Double Door Gallery during the summer months, showcasing local and regional artists, the property boasts two large o

pen rooms on the first floor, featuring curved walls, bead board, and wood paneling on the walls and ceiling, along with a convenient half bath.
