Prepare to be smitten by the coastal Maine allure and esthetic of ''The Falls at Crockett Cove'' sighted boldly atop a magnificent granite ledge. Featured in the May 2023 issue of ELLE DECOR magazine, this midcentury modern Emily Muir designed cottage sits on 12 private, wooded acres and includes 715 feet of oceanfront, all of which abuts The Nature Conservancy's 98-acre Crockett Cove Woods Preserve. This seaside home features sweeping views of the surrounding ocean and islands via its full glass front and sides. Finer features include walls with cross-bracing to hold firm in a storm and a sturdy granite chimney. Architectural details are reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright designs. With mechanical systems updates, it's a perfect blend of midcentury modern style with 21st-century conveniences. The main level has a generous great room and dining area that deliver bird's eye views of the dramatic landscape. Indoor-outdoor living is afforded by a sliding door that opens to the Garapa deck, overhead lighting, and custom sectional, built for cocktails, dinner and game playing. The chef's kitchen has modern appliances – Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, induction range, and reverse osmosis drinking water system. A Deer Isle granite fireplace is the centerpiece of the main level. Interiors designed by Architectural Digest and ELLE DECOR featured designer Angie Hranowsky include a mixture of carefully combined vintage and new pieces which convey with the home. The lower level has three curated bedrooms—all with dramatic ocean views, a custom tiled full bath, and generous built-in closet space. There is a bonus room with laundry, beverage fridge and storage. Built in 1968, now restored and updated, the property comes with additional quarters—a separate artist studio/office/writer's cottage completed in 2021. Emily Muir houses, feature large glass facades with sweeping views of the daily surge and swash of the cove's tides.
