Muscongus Bay Shingle Style Cottage $995,000 $848,000

It is a job requiring a sensitive aesthetic to take an early 20th century cottage and make it year-round while preserving those intangible traits that make it a "cottage". Its been well done here. Starting with the inspiring views across Muscongus Sound and its many islands, the spacious open floor plan of the house seems to direct the living outward while bringing the view and light inward.

Entering the house over the recent deck addition takes you into the mudroom/hall, which even from here has a view out the front windows. Move toward the modern "L" shaped efficient kitchen with granite counters and breakfast bar adjoining a dining area, built in china cabinets and pantry cupboard. This, in turn, gives into the full-width great room comprising a wood-burning fireplace, living areas, a dining area and full fenestration for that magnificent view.

Tucked in behind these spaces on the first floor as well is an office/family room with French doors and then the master suite highlighted by an antique stained-glass window, two ample closets, and full bath. Upstairs surrounding a pretty hallway of stenciled walls are three bedrooms, another office/den room, and a full bath.

At ground level at the front of the home is a large studio/exercise room enjoying the same views as the living room overhead.

The stonework and flowerbeds in the gardens are extensive and serve as attractive retaining walls. There are three outbuildings on the property including a small oar house, a two-car garage close to the house and a four-bay, three-car garage, which could also serve as storage or a workshop.

The deep-water dock right in front of the house has just been rebuilt and there is a second pier below the large garage. Harbor and marine facilities are near-by as is some of the best day sailing on the coast of Maine. Muscongus Bay is known for its many hidden beaches and coves waiting for a summer picnic.
