More photos coming soon as we work on finishing up some renovations & new furnishings! Pet Friendly! Sleeps 6-8! Sunny comfort & charm, centrally located in the village of Bucksport on a quiet, dead-end street. Surrounded by gardens that will be blooming all summer. Private back deck with hot tub, fenced in back yard! One hour to Camden, Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, & Acadia National Park, 30 minutes or less to Bangor, Belfast, Blue Hill, Castine, & Ellsworth. Lakes nearby for close water access, too! From the front door entry, enter into an open floor plan on the first floor, with dining room and a piano. The vintage dining table has 3 leaves to expand, with 6 chairs. You can use the piano bench or folding chairs to seat extra. The dining room also contains the 'craft cabinet', with lots of art supplies. Just past the dining room, a large kitchen includes a island with gas cook top, wall oven, large fridge/freezer, microwave, and new dishwasher - with everything needed to cook a great meal (drip coffee maker, toaster, new pots and pans, etc). One step down from the kitchen, the large sun filled living room is bright and open, with cathedral ceilings, and includes a bluetooth stereo system, record player (with a suprisingly large collection of vintage country albums!), books for adults and kids, lots of board games, and a flatscreen TV for streaming (no cable service). Entry to the back deck is from the living room. 2 smaller bedrooms on the first floor, each with a Double bed, share a small bathroom with shower stall. Photos of these rooms won't be available until after June 8th. One is more 'kid' oriented, with a bean bag chair for lounging. Laundry located in mudroom off the kitchen. Upstairs find a primary bedroom with King (Queen pictured will be replaced with a King), a desk for remote work (great WiFi!), and en-suite bathroom with separate shower stall and soaking tub (jets do not function on this tub). The second large upstairs bedroom offers a Queen bed with sitting area (Twin sofa bed) and TV for streaming. All four bedrooms have their own closets and ceiling fans. Off the living room, enjoy the large deck with privacy walls, propane grill, and built-in hot tub that seats 4-6 comfortably. A small fully fenced back yard space allows freedom for your pets or children to play. Past the fenced area, a locally made firepit is available. Cornhole game for the backyard, too! A/C located only in the living room (wall unit) and 2nd floor Primary bedroom (window unit). Radiant Floor heat on 1st and 2nd floor keeps the whole house cozy during chilly weather, plus the split level pump warms the living room. Plenty of off street parking. If you don't feel like adventuring to other areas, Bucksport's main street is a 15 minute walk away, where you can access the pretty Waterfront Walkway with views of Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge. The Miles Lane trail system is also very close by for walking or trail running. A grocery store and pharmacy are also close by, as well as several restaurants and fast food places. Check out the local happenings - there are often events happening in town, including the Bucksport Bay Festival (July 20, 2024), and movies at the sweet little Alamo Theater in town. The Great Pond Mountain Conservation Trust's "Wildlands" in Orland offers trails for hiking and biking (10 minute drive). Our favorite swimming spot is the Craig Pond beach, 15 minutes away. Garage not for tenant use. There is one exterior camera located on the garage, pointed towards the driveway and not monitored during your stay. You're welcome to enjoy the gardens, picking a bouquet of whatever is blooming. We're planting lots of herbs this spring for you to be able to use in the kitchen!
