This high end suite designed and built in 2015-2016 was inspired by the natural beauty of the rugged Maine coast and is on the 2nd floor of an architecturally designed three story home. It offers a great room enclosed by three walls of windows. The great room includes a kitchen, dining and comfortable seating area looking out at Blue Hill Bay and Swan's Island. The sofa converts to a single bed by easily removing the arms and back cushions. Hardwood flooring throughout. The fully equipped kitchen includes a stove, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, glass front cabinets, pantry storage and granite countertops. The dining area consists of seating for four with water views, and table linens. For those chilly nights, a gas stove with glass front provides warmth and atmosphere with the ease of a remote!
The beautifully appointed bath is highlighted by a sea glass tile tub wall, rainfall shower head and spacious vanity storage with a marble counter top. The light filled bedroom boasts a bay view and a luxurious upholstered Queen bed including bedside tables, reading lamps, full size closet, drapes and blackout shades.
A spiral staircase leads to the private entrance of this 2nd floor suite separated from the rest of the house with a sound insulating door and locks. This is useful to note, as it is above our carport, and below our deck, kitchen, and dining area. We have insulated for sound, and are respectful, but please note that you can hear our dogs or our footsteps, or voices periodically.
We send you the door code with the address and driving directions about 30 days before you arrive, and the WiFi code will be in the apartment.
The suite enjoys a stone patio and garden with a picnic table, grill, outdoor seating , and fire pit overlooking the sea views. NEW, summer 2020, we added landscaping including expanded patio, water feature with natural stone soaking pool, long dry brook with bridges, bordered by flowering shrubs and woodland trees. We also invite you to enjoy the 4 acre property including Bocce Court.
Seaview Quarters is approximately 600 ft from the waters edge, in a woodland setting on the QUIET SIDE of Mt. Desert Island. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the lobster boats in the morning, and a welcoming sea breeze on a warm afternoon. It enjoys sightings of eagles, sea birds, fox, and deer on the property. It is less than 2 miles to lovely Back Beach on Bass Harbor and Thurston's Lobster Pound. It is 4 miles to Ship Harbor Trail , Bass Harbor Lighthouse and to Southwest Harbor with it's restaurants and shopping. Park Loop Rd in ACADIA NATIONAL PARK and Bar Harbor are about 18 miles. Close kayak launch areas are Back Beach and Seal Cove. Acadia National Park comprises about half of Mt Desert Island but the scenery on the entire island is pretty spectacular, there is a reason this is National Park Territory!
