About this home

Magnificent VIEWS across the islands of FRENCHMAN BAY and CADILLAC MOUNTAIN! Classic 4-bedroom year-round home on three living levels with deck & large glassed sunrooms on two levels. 2.5 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with lawns that sweep down to the sea. AND the rare opportunity to own a large vintage 30'x15' BOATHOUSE with bunk room from the last century in wonderful condition! An adorable BUNKHOUSE nestled in the woods completes this compound. The home can be single-level living on the ground floor. Two bedrooms and bath create another private living space on the upper level, including a cedar wood bedroom where you wake up to amazing views! The ocean level has two finished rooms that provide another private living area. The entire home showcases the work of local master cabinet-maker David Philio with walls of beautiful built-ins! Gouldsboro prides its Working Waterfront. You can watch the lobster boats come & go from their moorings & seals frolic right beyond your windows. The 230'' sand & gravel beach on a lobster cove is accented by gorgeous pink granite outcroppings. A Boston Whaler can cross to Bar Harbor in less than an hour. Don't have a boat? The ferry runs often from Winter Harbor Village, only minutes from this house. Other village amenities include the golf course, yacht club, restaurants, galleries, shops, and the famous Schoodic Arts for All art venue with its performing hall and 3-week Arts Festival every summer. Only minutes from ACADIA NATIONAL PARK'S SCHOODIC POINT with its breathtaking close-up ocean scenery, hiking and biking trails, and scientific research center. Stunning sunsets, sunning on the expansive shorefront lawn, the smell of the ocean after a storm, the quiet of a winter's day, watching a snowstorm all warm & cozy inside, barbeques on the deck, corn hole games on the lawn, finding a rare piece of glass or shell on the beach all make this a magical place. Make it yours....
