45 Rumill Rd, Mt Desert, ME 04660

Built in 2005, this contemporary, architectural, cedar shingle-style cottage is located on the western side of Mount Desert Island's gorgeous Algerian Coast. On 3.21 acres, with 820 ft of oceanfront and a beach at low tide, there are beautiful seascapes and spectacular sunsets plus an open field and lush woods. Quiet, scenic trails of Acadia National Park are nearby as well as excellent freshwater swim spots. Thoughtfully landscaped with native perennial gardens including sweet ferns, Bleeding Hearts, Columbine, and Annabelle Hydrangeas with blooms the size of dinner plates. Paths embrace granite boulders, blackberry and raspberry bushes and a Star Magnolia tree. With 4,079 finished square feet, the house has four bedrooms, the primary on the first floor, and four full baths. Warm quarter sewn oak floors and beadboard ceilings inspired by the original Claremont Inn dining room welcome you into the open living and dining area featuring the breathtaking view and anchored by a granite fireplace. Both sides are flanked by large open terraces and screened-in porches with an outside fireplace. The kitchen is spacious with a nice flow, a propane stovetop and sea views through the dining area as well as counter-to-ceiling windows looking over the gardens. A butlers' pantry also doubles as a flower room with a sink and laundry. There is a full bath and a large room that currently serves as media/game room with built-in shelving and a closet, offering a variety of uses. A custom banister with oak leaf cut-outs leads to the lower level where there are three bedrooms, all with water views, opening to the grassy patio with a granite border. A wine cellar and ample storage room containing utilities are next to the large one-car garage with a workshop and complete the downstairs. Radiant heat throughout.
