On 1.28 private acres down a pretty, tree-lined drive, this beautiful, custom-built 1,440 +/- sqft. cedar shingle, clapboard cape has three bedrooms & three full baths. The Douglas Fir porch wraps around three sides of the house with two separate entrances, and a main front door leads into a bright living/dining area with oak floors and a wood stove, plus an electric heat/a/c pump. A counter bar flows into the kitchen with radiant heat, granite counters, custom cabinets, and a gas stove, as well as a pantry with custom shelves. The first-floor bedroom or office has custom built-in shelves and a closet with built-ins. There is a full bath across the hall with radiant heat and a linen closet, and an additional entrance from the porch with a coat closet. Stairs to the second-floor lead to the spacious primary suite with views on three sides, a ceiling fan, and a window seat next to the walk-in dressing room with built-in drawers and adjustable shelves. The ensuite bath has a jetted tub with decorative tile and separate shower. Down the hall, there is another large bedroom with treetop views and a spacious closet next to a full bath, as well as a concealed washer and dryer in a dedicated space. New solar panels take full advantage of the sun, bringing the electric bills to almost nothing, plus a full house generator, Marvin windows throughout & a woodshed that holds three cords. The house is surrounded by perennial gardens and spongy moss and is steps to a neighborhood trail leading to Acadia National Park. There is a one car garage currently used as a shop with open lofted space that could be finished out as a studio or guest cottage, with electricity & a pump station that can also be used as an RV site. Carrolls Hill is located within walking distance to the vibrant year-round village of Southwest Harbor, Causeway Club, Sailing Center and some of the best trails and swimming spots on Mount Desert Island. Rarely does a property come on the market in this location.
