Shorebird protection area for amazing feathered visitors! Swallows return every spring, and sellers report having as many as 25 EAGLES at one time on the ledges of the shore--easily observed quietly from the wrap-around sunroom along the southeast side of the house. SOLAR home built in 2008 with self-sufficient photovoltaic solar system that provides ample power to offset the yearly electrical costs & provides extra hot water when needed. (See disclosures for details.) Radiant heat throughout the first floor is provided by a super efficient Weissmann propane furnace. A propane stove in the basement and wood stove in the living room will keep you warm all winter and give you options for heat in the shoulder seasons. Two water heaters, one gas and one heat pump that acts as dehumidifier and air conditioning. Extremely well insulated. Wonderful dry basement. Roof is state-of-the-art polymer synthetic classic slate field tiles with 50-year transferrable warranty & wind tested for 110 mph installed with copper flashing, gutters, and valleys. Detached two-car garage has a second floor that could be a fabulous STUDIO or additional living space. Well-built lean-to is attached for great firewood storage. Construction was started prior to shorebird zoning, so home could never be built this close to the shore again. First-floor primary bedroom has spacious en suite luxury bath with circular shower & soaking tub. Living room flows into the open kitchen/dining area & office then to that marvelous sunroom that captures all the scenic beauty of the ocean and grounds. Two bedrooms & bath on second level with amazing views! Very privately sited, but in the famous Schoodic Peninsula with Acadia National Park's Schoodic Point, golf course, yacht club & villages with restaurants, art venues, galleries, & shops. This property offers all the best of the Coast of Maine!
