Perched above Frenchman Bay on 4.30 acres, this house has a panoramic view of the entire bay to the islands and mountains, and a set of steps to access 180 feet of shore frontage. On a full foundation with radiant in-floor heat, the living room, with walls of built-in bookcases and a granite wood burning fireplace at one end, opens onto the front deck overlooking the bay. The kitchen, dining, and living room are all open to cathedral ceilings. The master suite has deck access with bay views and the second bedroom has views of the back meadow and tree line. This is one-floor living at its best. At the top of the slope of the meadow there is charming, rustic guest cabin with one bedroom, full bath, kitchenette with dining area and a great rental history. Beautiful walking and biking area, the anchorage is near by as are tennis courts, several top-notch restaurants, and conveniently located half way between Acadia National Park on MDI and the Schoodic branch of the park.
