Surrounded by nature this is a classic New England cedar shake style house with a twist.

Screened in porch with a stone fireplace.

Large windows offer views through the trees of Casco Bay, Maine.

Fireplace in living room is flanked on each side by custom built-in book selves and storage.

Large kitchen island forms the center of this shaker style kitchen and provides seating.

The pantry/ prep area off the kitchen looks out over the woods, the contrasting wallpaper on the walls draws you in

While the fireplace forms the center of the dinning room the commanding view is that of outside with a patio area, trees and then Casco Bay.

The upstairs office and private gathering area has its own balcony which looks out over casco bay. The arched windows are carried through and reflected in an arched roof.

Nestled back from the ocean this house sits on a wooded lot, surrounded by ferns, giving the impression that the house is part of the surrounding greenery and not the other way around, the Earth tones and softer edges of the house allow it to blend in.

With large living spaces on the first floor, including a screened in porch and fireplace, there is plenty of room for gathering. The ADU above the garage allows for visiting family to comfortably stay but not impose. Details such as the arched corbels and arched openings over the garage and front door help soften the more traditional straight lines. The basement holds the mechanical systems which include a whole house ERV which combined with the well-sealed and insulated exterior wall assembly ensure a comfortable and safe home year-round.
