From a brick driveway and walkway the front entrance opens into a well-appointed kitchen, dining area opening into the great room with a wood-stove, a wall of windows to the peak to enhance the artistry of post and beam construction, mortise and tenon joints with pegs, all exposed. From the great room, through a hallway there is a full bath, first floor bedroom, office/bedroom opening onto a back deck surrounded by beautiful shrubs, unusual garden trees and perennials. Stairway to the second floor landing overlooking the great room leads through atrium doors to the primary bedroom with double closets and a lovely full bath with a skylight. The lower level has a laundry room, family room for TV and pool table with HW, baseboard heat throughout the lower and upper living spaces, and another room which could be studio space. Garden shed, spacious backyard with fire pit area, brick walkway winding through the garden area with stone walls dividing spaces all make for an enchanting property on 1.5 acres. A nice bike ride to tennis courts, a swim club, great anchorage and dock in a very protected harbor on Frenchman Bay, one of the most beautiful sailing bays on the Coast of Maine. Added bonus, great rental history.
