Northeastern views including the mountains of Acadia from this summer getaway will draw you into this home and allow you to forget your worries at the door. The large wrap around deck overlooking the deep water frontage invites you to sit outside in the morning sun with your coffee and take in the boat activity of Mackerel Cove. This home offers a large living area including a fireplace, galley kitchen, three bedrooms (one on 1st floor), a spacious media room and three bathrooms. The pink granite ledges gently slope to the waters edge which allows for easy access to swim or launch a kayak from the small beach area. Elevated acreage up above the home provides a different landscape with ledges, granite outcroppings, more trees creating a wonderful spot for a picnic, camping location or shade on a hot day with a good book. A mooring and a shared dock with clubhouse sits right next door for easy boat access.
