Property Description

Here on Mount Desert Island's 'Quietside' you'll find a classic, yet modern, shingled cape. With a distinctly Maine aesthetic, this home utilizes timeless materials--marble, brass, cedar shakes, tile, concrete, granite, solid wood, enameled cast iron--to create a space that will outlast trends. Excellent design allows life to flow with ease. The heart of the home is the connected kitchen, living and dining room with large south-facing windows. Unobtrusive heat pumps keep temperature regulated year-round. The kitchen features custom built-in cabinetry that can hide it all, a gas range with hood venting outside, marble countertops and backsplash, generous counter space, and a deep farmhouse sink. Cozy up by the easy-to-use gas fireplace with custom mantel, or gather in the dining room, which comfortably seats all your guests. A large entry gives muddy hiking boots a place to rest before their owners head into the house. Retreat to the primary suite, with private bath featuring a soaking tub, double vanity, and large marble shower. The walk-in closet is big enough to double as a small workspace, with room for a seating area or reading nook. Two additional bedrooms with generous closets share a thoughtfully designed full bath. Minutes away, enjoy a public boat launch and dock, plus local restaurants in Bass Harbor. Acadia National Park offers 200+ miles of trails and carriage roads, dips at Echo Lake or Long Pond, and oceanfront picnic spots. A proven short-term rental history makes this home equally suited for full-time or seasonal living. Built smart, too: a 5-bedroom septic system allows room for expansion, a hardwired generator offers peace of mind, underground electric runs street to house, and an efficient heat pump system handles heating and cooling. A garden shed adds extra storage. Airports in Trenton and Bangor make this island escape easy to reach.
