Built in 2008, this contemporary, Shingle Style home was designed to embrace its six private, wooded acres in the Pretty Marsh area of MDI. Custom awnings provide summer shade over slate reclaimed from a Rockefeller estate. Buried power lines and a generator tucked in the woods don't distract from the natural surroundings. With radiant heat throughout, two bedrooms are on the first floor and a large studio, sleeping area, full bath and kitchenette are on the lower level. Salvaged from a local summer cottage, the inviting Dutch door welcomes you into the foyer with French doors. Cherry floors lead to the living/dining area, which has a barrel ceiling, custom windows, a wood burning fireplace with a concrete hearth, and a centrally located AC/heat pump. The kitchen has a smart layout for cooking and socializing, featuring granite counters and custom tile work behind the gas range. The primary bedroom has separate ensuite baths, each with a dressing area connected by a large walk-in shower. One side can be closed off for a powder room or used by the bedroom across the hall, currently a media room. The screened-in porch enjoys late sun and is next to a thoughtfully plumbed gas grill on an open deck. A laundry area and extra freezer are next to a built-in desk in the hall leading to the attached garage. Downstairs, the studio has custom cabinetry, beautiful faux-painted doors and custom-stained concrete floors. A removable antique hutch covers a pre-plumbed hook-up ready for a propane stove and separates the sleeping area. There is a large, tiled bathroom and a kitchenette with a sink, refrigerator and electric cooktop. The expansive storage/utility area is next to the workshop, which has an outside entrance and drive-up access. Quiet trails of Acadia National Park, local swim spots, Blue Horizon Preserve (a favorite for dog walkers), Blagden Preserve for seal spotting, and Bartlett's Landing with a mooring field and boat launch are all close by.
