About this property
Warm comfortable retreat in the woods, but close to Island attractions
I built an apartment next to our house, thinking someday i would live in the apartment and rent the house. The apartment is accessed by a wide set of stairs made of oak. Upon entering the apartment there is a teratine tile floor in the kitchen, that transitions onto an oak floor in an open layout. In the middle of the space is a small table that seats four, including an oak church pew . A small siting area (with fold out futon) in the family room area has several windows that look into the trees.
Three sky light tunnels bring light into the room. The oak, tile, and warm paint make the living/dining/family area relaxing, and the perfect spot for 2-3 people.
The front half of the unit has a bedroom on one end, an office/study/den/sleeping area in the middle and a tiled bathroom with custom built walk-in shower, along with washer and dryer on the other end.
The office/study/den has a full sky light that brings light into the center of the unit. The kitchen is fully equipped with oak kitchen cabinets and all the basic kitchen necessities.

Located in Mount Desert, this apartment is in a rural area and near the beach.
