Behind a picket fence draped with New Dawn roses, this unique shingled cottage, aptly named ''Treetops, '' features a Maine cabin-style sun lit interior with wood floors, abundant windows, custom built-ins, and water views. Originally constructed in1995, with a 2007 addition, this home features an eat-in kitchen with custom cabinets, a china hutch, stainless appliances and a woodstove. Off the kitchen is a mudroom and a full bath with laundry. Four steps up to the 2nd level is an open living room, dining area, a tiled floor 4-season sunroom, and an enclosed music/recreation room with an exterior sun deck. The next level opens to a large bedroom with 7 windows, and a full bath with a vintage ball foot soaking tub. Up 4 more steps is another bedroom with a built-in loft bed, a large L-shaped primary bedroom suite featuring a wall of windows framing the water view of Ballyhac Cove, a walk-in closet, a home office and a bathroom with cherry cabinets. The dry basement is ideal for a workshop. This property has a ROW to the water, and is steps away from the Brown Family Preserve, a 20-acre protected bird and wildlife habitat. Two miles in another direction is Birch Point State Park with one of the loveliest pocket beaches in Maine. This 2 acre site includes a fenced backyard, a garden shed, a woodshed, a 2-car garage, and a screened shingle-roofed teahouse/pavilion (once featured in Downeast Magazine) with a dry bar. The trees surrounding the cottage were selected and planted by an arborist and perennials enhance the exterior.
