Shore House

A ‘shore house’ brings to mind lazy warm summer days, ocean breezes, billowing sails with colorful spinnakers on blue water, purple lupine, pink early sunrises, white wicker rockers on the porch…and this Shore House, on Blue Hill Bay in Brooklin, has all of that and more.

Shore House is privately sited on 5.3 acres at the end of a quiet lane with 990’ of deep shorefront with beach and ledges on Blue Hill Bay and views of Long Island, the bay and the mountains of Mount Desert. Open, level grounds are beautifully landscaped with trees and shrubs providing total privacy. This lovely cottage-style home has been well maintained and retains many wonderful original details, including a large bay-side covered porch, whimsical wood cutout detailing, a large china and display cupboard, an arched quarry granite fireplace, wainscoting and Douglas fir floors.

There are four bedrooms and three baths in the main house, best used as a three-season residence. Adjacent to the main residence is a cute Bunkhouse with sleeping loft perfect for overflow, a gardener’s shed, playhouse or studio office, and a separate three-car garage. A short walk through the woods from the main residence is an additional guest cottage with living room, full kitchen, sleeping loft and full bath at the water’s edge, excellent for guests or as a studio or office.

This ‘Shore House’ offers the quintessential Maine summer retreat, and much, much, more.
