Property Description

This farmhouse on 3.5 acres sits just off Sunshine Road on Deer Isle, with water views across Pickering Cove. Storybook in feel and high in quality, the house is finished throughout with white cottage nickel gap and beadboard, and the south-facing rooms stay full of light most of the day. A red front door and dooryard plantings mark the entrance, with a producing apple orchard, established perennial beds, and berry plantings that have had years to settle in beyond it.
The kitchen has been rebuilt with soapstone counters, a farmhouse sink, and white shaker cabinets, and a second run of open shelving and beadboard holds the everyday dishware. The kitchen features wide pine boards that carry into the pantry. Be warmed by the wood stove in the dining room that carries leads into the, tastefully remodeled bathroom and laundry room featuring a quartz counter.
The first floor holds the kitchen, dining room, living room, full bath, and laundry, along with a pantry and mudroom that connect the main house to an attached, three-season barn. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a full bath round out the second floor, the bath finished in white subway tile with a tub, and one bedroom currently set up as a den, sloped ceilings and all. A walk-in storage room off the hall handles what a farmhouse this well kept always needs somewhere to put.
The barn itself has been given over to books: post and beam construction overhead, shelves built floor to ceiling, and a broad window looking out over the grounds, a warm-weather retreat rather than year-round space. A sun porch off the house, hooks lined with sun hats, rounds out the warm-weather living space.
The finishes throughout are custom and well done, the kind of detail that comes from real craftsmanship rather than a quick update. It's simply a happy house, bright and easy to be in.
Deer Isle's better-known spots, Nervous Nellie's, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and the Tennis Preserve, are all a short drive away.
