Sheltered by a picturesque speck of an island within Thomas Bay, this fully furnished Bar Harbor home provides ample living area, both inside & out. The 4 bedroom, 3 bath home is complimented by a 1 bedroom apartment, while outdoors the 5.77 acre lot offers abundant privacy, forested surroundings & a wide, sweeping lawn gently leading to 440' of owned frontage on a tidal bay. The home was built in 1984, with more recent additions being a cathedral screened room, oversized garage & covered front porch. 1st floor features include a kitchen with adjoining social area & breakfast nook, dining room, living room, full bathroom and a spacious great room. The great room's layout is highly adaptable, with options to enjoy as a shared space between the main home & apartment, or to dedicate this large room via lockable doors to either the main home or the 2nd story apartment. This clever design brings significant value to a ''primary residence'' owner who wishes to offer the apartment in Bar Harbor's lucrative weekly rental market. With the great room added in, the modest 1 bedroom apartment above it becomes a genuinely attractive vacation lodging option. The apartment itself provides a small, yet complete kitchen, living room with ocean view, bedroom, full bathroom and private entry & parking. In the home's 2nd floor you will find 4 bedrooms that include 3 guest bedrooms, a full bathroom and a master suite with its own deck overlooking Thomas Bay. Outdoor areas consist of a lofty screened room, ocean facing deck, full length covered front porch & a sizable lawn that easily guides to the ocean's edge. The shore here is a kayaker's delight with easy rowing access around the lovely ''backyard'' island, Salt Pond next door or a bit farther out to conserved Thomas Island and The Twinnies. The open nature of the setting affords spectacular views from inside the home & outdoors. A large attached garage, expansive storage building & plenty of parking add to the conveniences on hand
