Open house Saturday June 18th between 11AM -3PM. Please come! Cute, classic Maine-style home with spacious boat shop in coveted Brooklin—the self-proclaimed boat building capital of the world and home to WoodenBoat magazine. This very sunny, small, friendly, and comfortable home, with woodwork reminiscent of the Craftsman style, was built in 1938. and has lovingly maintained and updated over the years. This house could be used as a seasonal residence, a year-round home, or an office/studio for the adjacent boat shop. The 28 x 28-foot shop was built by Brooks Boats Designs and used to construct exceptional-quality glued-lapstrake boats. It was designed to be converted into a residence if desired and easily could be, or could have a small apartment, studio, guest space, etc. , upstairs. The shop is oriented for passive solar gain, and the downstairs is insulated. The boat shop has its own road access and attached sheds with room for the storage of more boats. Beautiful sunsets and some views of the Benjamin River. Country landscape, tended organically, with beautiful flowers and flowering shrubs, including poppies, lupines, lilacs, and rugosa roses. Excellent apples: Northern Spy and others. Close to Sedgwick, Blue Hill, and Deer Isle. About an hour to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park.
