Overlooking the natural beauty of Blue Hill Bay sits a stunning 4 bedroom, 3 bath year-round, post and beam shingled home. The traditional construction in historic New England style, built by John Ruger in 1988, allows for a vaulted beam ceiling in the living area and the three original bedrooms. The front door opens to an expansive view of the Bay through an inviting living and dining area with fireplace. Every room of the post and beam structure has a view of the sea through oversize windows. A deck running the full length on the water side overlooks the lawn sloping gently to the granite shore and dock. Adjacent to the dining area, the kitchen with Bosch appliances and eating area also has water views and a wood stove. Off the kitchen, the attached glassed porch is a perfect place to enjoy the sunrise and a coffee. The second floor primary bedroom suite and sitting area, lit by a skylight and half moon windows in the vault overhead, have easterly views over the Bay with windows on three sides. Two wings have been added to the original design. One in 2001 was tastefully integrated into the original design to provide an added bedroom, laundry room and side entryway. A second in 2003 added the Captain's Quarters, a charming, large mahogany paneled sitting room with open views of the sea and a flood of indirect daylight from above to warm the mahogany below. An open lofted study above provides a quiet retreat away from the activity in the hub of the house. Huge closet space, storage and built in bookcases are a few of the extra features. An oversized one car detached garage offers a seasonal space above with bedroom, full bath and lofted sitting area with ocean view, providing room for guests. This home has a timeless aesthetic and inviting presence defined by craftsmanship adding warmth and character. Surrounded by open meadow and a wooded buffer on 7.4 acres of land and 435' deep water frontage with dock makes this a most desirable property
