A one-of-a-kind jewel-box home, renovated inside and out with an artist's eye by outdoors-lovers with a keen interest in design, cooking, sewing, and gardening, this house is nestled in the woods on a 2.3 acre lot, convenient to Camden & Belfast, with fiber optic internet!
Adjoining the Ducktrap Preserve, within 10 min. to Lincolnville Beach, Owen's General Store and Megunticook Lake, and 20 to Camden Hills State Park, it's an ideal location for those who love kayaking, swimming, hiking, and beach.
On the 2nd level is a sun-drenched living room with refinished floors, wood-beam ceiling, and 3 walls of windows. Throughout is evidence of the inspiration the original builder took from boat building. A spiral staircase leads to the 3rd floor bedroom/office—a treetop aerie with skylight. The 1st floor was the workshop of an artist-curator and now offers flexible living/sleeping space, with Jotul wood stove, built-in bookshelves, & new washer/dryer. A year-round atrium accesses the back deck. Inside, discover details such as antique kitchen sink, clawfoot tub, and interior skylight made from old window sashes. Outside discover a fully stocked woodshed with kayak and mower, a garden of apple tree, blueberries, and perennials, & woods with stone walls, stream and wildflowers.
Among energy-efficiency investments made: standing seam steel roof, 2 new heat pumps, 11 new Marvin Elevate windows, total encapsulation of crawl space, and new Anderson sliding door (see list).
Among the furnishings included: jelly cabinets, antique carpenter's bench with vise, spindle bed, farmhouse table, and custom-made bench seating with storage, convertible to beds allowing the house to sleep 8. Other touches to note for cooking & design enthusiasts include: newly refinished wide plank pine wood floors; push-button light switches with antique brass switch plates; backsplash of handpainted Delft tiles from Douglas Watson; Bertazzoni propane range with hood; & chef's butcher block table.
