GEORGETOWN – “Organic to the site” is the capsule description of how gracefully and naturally this stunning, architect-designed home inhabits its lovely Maine coastal setting.
The very private, three-acre property includes 480 feet of waterfront on well-protected Robinhood Cove, with 180-degree views that extend north to Robinhood Marina, east to little Birch Island and the far shoreline, and south to Phebe and Fog Islands. A dock is lacking for now, but in all other respects, the location is as boater-friendly as one could wish, with easy access to the Sheepscot River and the open ocean.
A multi-level wraparound deck unites the home’s living space with its environment, as does a delightful, angled walkway whose sitting perches provide different viewing perspectives in the descent to the property’s peninsula. The walkway seems to allude to the exterior design of the house, which ascends helix-like over four levels to a handsomely finished “crow’s nest” lookout room that feels like the lantern room of a lighthouse.
The interior reflects the same patterns, in the geometry of its rooms, and in details such as the angularity of the exposed truss structure, and the way the center brick fireplace and hearth are “skewed” (in the architect’s phrasing) towards the gourmet’s kitchen, whose features include granite surfaces, a six-burner-plus-griddle Viking cooktop, Sub Zero refrigerator and double wall oven.
Other highlights include a cool library, a complete guest suite on the third level, and an east-facing master suite with wood stove and private balcony and a gorgeous, spacious bath with jetted tub.
