Shingled Contemporary on 10 Private Acres in Brooklin
Tucked at the end of a 2000-ft driveway off of Rob Rd. in the coastal town of Brooklin, this 1,987-square-foot home is a thoughtfully crafted retreat, designed and built in 2002 by the owner--a local wooden boatbuilder and designer. The home reflects a commitment to craft and efficiency, set on 10 acres of mature forest with trails leading to a peaceful salt pond and wildlife estuary.
The first floor features a sunny art studio, kitchen, living, and dining area with wood stove, a full bath, and a large screened-in porch that extends the living space into the private acreage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a private balcony; a second bedroom and a full bathroom with a shower and soaking tub complete the second floor. The third floor is a light-filled great room, perfect as a library, office, or optional third bedroom.
Well insulated with radiant floor heat, Andersen low-e windows, and beautiful oak floors on first floor, and knotty pine floors upstairs, the home is efficient and welcoming year-round. A full-height, walk out dry basement includes a small workshop. Outside, you'll find a fenced-in vegetable garden with a season-extending greenhouse and tool shed.
Wander through the woods to the salt pond--ideal for clamming, birdwatching, kayaking, or simply enjoying hammock time under the trees. Peaceful, private, and just a short drive from town, this home is a rare blend of craftsmanship, comfort, and coastal Maine beauty.
