Originally constructed in 1982, this delightful two- bedroom, two-bath home is a unique retreat. Beautiful wood beams, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and warm wood finishes throughout create a comfortable and peaceful year-round home. A large south-facing deck welcomes you upon arrival. The main level features a bright four-season sunroom, kitchen and dining areas, a comfortable living room with a woodstove, and a full bath. Also on this level is a spacious primary suite with a large private bath, woodstove, two closets, and its own outdoor deck. A loft above the primary suite provides additional flexible space. The second level offers a charming bedroom that could also serve as an office or studio. The full, unfinished basement includes two large rooms, currently used as a home gym and spacious workshop, as well as a laundry area. An oversized two-car garage, constructed in 2016, includes a large covered shed area providing additional protected storage. An outdoor wood-fired sauna adds another special feature to the property. The four-acre parcel offers a wonderful combination of wooded areas and a large, sunny, level yard with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. Centrally located on Mount Desert Island in Bar Harbor's village of Town Hill, the property offers convenient access to all that Mount Desert Island has to offer.
