About This Home
Beautiful contemporary Colonial on the shores of Union River Bay. Extensively remodeled home with comfort in mind. Some are a completely new kitchen, 3/4'' hardwood maple and tile flooring throughout, 3 baths, lighting, doors, decking, roof, painting of interior and exterior and much more. This is a fabulous offering as the home is being sold completely furnished (excepting a few personal items) and is ready to make your own. The first level offers an open design with two spacious living rooms, kitchen, dining, primary bedroom, and 4 season glassed porch overlooking the bay and the incredibly glorious sunsets. The second level has a primary ensuite, full bath and third bedroom. The plush lawn slopes slightly down to the shore with ample space for outdoor recreation, a firepit, conversation areas and picnic spots. While relaxing you can be pretty sure you'll get a visit from a variety of neighbors including deer, seals and eagles. Along with the 2-car garage attached to the house, a second detached 2 car garage was recently constructed, with exceptional finishes and a second level. It's been framed for finished living space complete with a deck overlooking the grounds and ocean and private driveway. There is a wonderful garden shed adjoining established raised bed gardens, and a second shed for the ''toys'' being left, ie: Husqvarna Zero Turn riding mower and Ariens snowblower. The acreage is beautiful with established gardens, fruit trees, mature growth and very private. The sunsets are glorious at any time of the year. Just a short drive to Ellsworth Center or all points on Mount Desert Island.
