95 Moons Ledges Rd Hancock, ME 04640

Welcome to 'Birdsong', the latest 'art piece' home from MDI based builder Keith Raymond. Its namesake derives from the forest chorus heard daily on the secluded 4 acre parcel. Bordering to the south is a conservation easement held by Frenchman Bay Conservancy. Immediately west is Island Train Way, a little known 'rails to trails' hiking path that you can access from your doorstep. Recently completed, the home is a delightful blend of function, style & sustainability with a focus on use of reclaimed & local wood. The 1,328 s.f. home displays a thoughtful & efficient floor plan. Entering through the covered front porch, the 1st floor provides a kitchen, dining area, living room, bedroom & full bath. Quartz kitchen counter meets birch butcher block surrounded by handmade cabinetry constructed of reclaimed heart pine. All wood floors in the home are hardwood ash. The 1st floor ceiling beams and the 1st floor ceiling itself were milled on site from wood sourced during Birdsong's site prep. The natural look of the 1st floor ceiling beams tie in harmoniously with the live edge exterior pine siding. The dining & living room both gaze out to the peaceful forest setting and enjoy two heat sources, both sized for the entire home: the heat pump that also offers AC & dehumidifying, and the Jotul gas fireplace that heats without need for electricity. The 1st floor bathroom with travertine floor, laundry & built-in shelving continues with showings of creative woodworking, utilizing reclaimed mahogany. The 2nd floor consists of 2 bedrooms and another full bath. White-washed pine walls & ceilings are milled in Maine. A soaking tub, artful sink, shower & additional inventive woodwork define the 2nd floor bath. The wrap around deck is Maine Amish milled cedar and is adorned with goat panel deck railing. Ample space exists for outbuilding placement. The location is tucked away, yet quite close to multiple hiking & shore access points within the well-loved Hancock Point community.
