Architectural details in the open first floor include chair rail wainscoting in the living room and a mint condition antique tin ceiling in the dining room. The bright kitchen is detailed by butcher block countertops, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances, and keeps a vintage farmhouse feel with wooden crossbeams and exposed barn wood. Cozy and tranquil. Up the eye catching stairs to the second floor bathroom with its double vanity and dual showerheads. Plentiful electrical upstairs for easy conversion to office space if needed. Quality decking out the front and back of the home for relaxing, grilling or early morning cups of coffee. A 16' x 10' custom built storage shed with feathered floorboards makes accessing tools and toys a breeze, or convert it to a workshop. Newer furnace and leach field, both installed 2016. Low maintenance. Double pane windows throughout, honeycomb blinds, a perfect place to get away from it all and just minutes from serene beaches, hikes, and boat launches, within easy commuting range to Bucksport, Blue Hill, Ellsworth, Bangor, and Acadia.
