This charming 1939 classic cape designed by architect Royal Berry Willis, and very well maintained, is nestled in the quiet village of Southwest Harbor. The red front door leads to a lovely entryway with wooden floors and a staircase to the second floor. The interior is full of light from the many windows in the home. A right hand turn takes you to the living room/dining room which boasts a beautiful fireplace, a built-in hutch, and bay windows overlooking the backyard. Wooden floors throughout the home make it warm and inviting and architectural details like the ample window frames, built in drawers and closets give it a unique flare. The kitchen is bright and inviting with glass doors in the stylized cabinets, two sunny windows, matching silver appliances, and butcher block countertops with a tile backsplash depicting MDI from the water. The first floor also includes a bedroom and an adjacent full bath. Taking the wooden staircase to the second floor brings you to a large bedroom with lots of closet space, a full bath, and a second smaller bedroom or office. The second floor bedrooms have doomer ceilings which create a cottage atmosphere. A second set of stairs take you to the dry basement which offers a bonus room, a full bathroom, laundry and storage space. There is a one car attached garage and a large private deck out behind the home with a built-in bench and space for a table and grill, perfect for outdoor living. This home offers a place to live a slower, more intentional pace of life and is designed for comfort and simplicity. Step out your front door onto the quiet road, perfect for morning walks. Seasonal peaks of the harbor after the leaves fall and the year round smell of salt air. The amenities of town with the rugged beauty of Acadia close by, is island perfection.
