views of Burnt Coat Harbor, Swans Island. This
elegant, year-round Victorian home has been
thoughtfully renovated throughout to incorporate the best of modern living with the charm of a classic island home. The open floor plan on the main level and expansive wrap-around deck are perfect for large gatherings of family and friends. A large, elegant living room off the formal entrance welcomes you with sweeping views of the harbor. With water views from nearly every window and wood floors throughout, this home is warm, inviting, and filled with natural lighting. A newly installed cooks' kitchen was designed with gorgeous cabinetry and countertops, cork flooring, and Bosch appliances. Large French doors from the living room, dining room, and kitchen, create a seamless transition outdoors. The first-floor bath is adjacent to the study which can be converted into a fifth bedroom. The second floor has four large bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. Radiant floor heating on the first floor. Second-floor laundry for ease of living. Whole house generator. Sit on the deck and read
while watching lobster boats, sailboats, and the
3-masted schooners come and go. Gorgeous property grounds with mature perennial beds and granite sculptures. Walking distance to the lighthouse. Swan's Island - whether for vacation or home - is a haven from the storm. Not to be missed!
