Built in 2000, this beautiful Shingle style cottage designed by Stewart Brecher is an entertainer's dream. The large living and dining room with wood burning fireplace, coffered ceiling and wired stereo sound are perfect for hosting a large party and yet cosy enough to curl up by the fire on a cold winter's day. The gourmet chef's kitchen has an oversized granite topped island, Sub-zero refrigerator and Thermador double ovens and cooktop with indoor grill. The first floor also boasts a sunroom with views of Cadillac Mountain, a specious laundry room, master bedroom with wood burning fireplace and a home office with built-in cherry bookshelves. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a sitting room. The basement has a large daylight gym/playroom and a full bathroom. No detail was overlooked when it comes to the systems used to operate the house which include irrigation, radiant and baseboard heat, central air-conditioning, and a full house generator, to name a few. There is also a three-car garage connected by a portico. Centrally located, Somesville is close to all the villages of Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, and the Bar Harbor airport. Residents of Somesville may join the Somesville Landing, one of the prettiest docks on Mount Desert Island.
