Introducing Fernwood, a three bedroom, two bath classic Maine cottage thoughtfully redesigned by Gray Wade Design of Charleston, South Carolina, located in the heart of Southwest Harbor on coveted Dirigo Road --- where it is rare a home comes to market. Throughout the cottage, the floors, kitchen cabinets, and shelves, as well as the hearth around the fireplace, are reclaimed materials. The intimate dining nook has a cathedral ceiling and built-in window seating. Double French doors open from the living room to the screened-in porch, creating flow to a favorite place to relax or entertain overlooking the private yard bordered by tall, old growth trees. The kitchen has high ceilings, a Bertazzoni gas range and 30'' Monogram glass door refrigerator. Galvanized metal countertops, a soapstone sink and unlacquered brass tap were intentionally chosen to handle any wear while developing a beautiful patina. The butler's pantry adds more storage and leads to the primary first floor bedroom with a vaulted ceiling, wood beams from the original floor, and built-in end tables. There is also private, direct access to the backyard and a full bath in the connecting breezeway. Upstairs are two bedrooms sharing a bathroom with shower. Custom screens and shutters, plus three heat pumps accommodate all seasons. Fernwood is just short stroll over the beautiful stone walkway to the Causeway Club, Acadia National Park trails, the MDI Sailing Center, plus The Clairemont hotel for drinks or dinner. Southwest Harbor is a vibrant year-round village with some of the islands' best restaurants, an active library, the beloved Flamingo Festival, and home to the end of the MDI Marathon. This home offers a great opportunity for a turnkey rental with a robust rental market.
