1832 Carriage House, meticulously remodeled, in the center of Blue Hill Welcome to “Barn Owl”. This exquisitely renovated 19TH century carriage house is in the heart of the historic district of Blue Hill, but set back from the street in a very private setting. An elegant and comfortable home with a large, modern kitchen that opens to the great room, it easily accommodates large gatherings. Centrally located, you can walk to Blue Hill’s eclectic stores & restaurants, library, playgrounds, or just sit on the rocks overlooking Blue Hill Bay. It is only a short drive to swimming beaches and local hikes, Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor, the working waterfront in picturesque Stonington and historical Castine,home of Maine Maritime Academy. Venture out and explore all that Downeast Maine has to offer, or just relax in the peace and quiet of our quintessential New England seaside village.Barn Owl was renovated and furnished with family and friends in mind. There is plenty of space to spread out in the 2,700 sq. ft. home, with enough privacy for quiet time as well. The original post & beam framing was exposed in the renovation process, and many hitches, hooks, and other hardware from the pre-Civil War carriage house days are still visible. It is full of historical interest and furnishings include many wonderful antiques. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with topline appliances including dual convection wall ovens, a gas cooktop, oversized refrigerator, dishwasher, and a farmhouse sink. The cupboards are loaded with dishes and glassware for 12. Some basic pantry items, spices, coffee, and teas also provided. Each floor has its own bedroom/bath suite. In addition to the fully equipped modern kitchen, the 1st floor has a barn-sized great room including 2 separate seating areas to comfortably watch TV or have quiet conversations, and a spacious dining area. The 1st floor also has a ½ bath and a laundry room, as well as a large master suite with a queen bed, and bath with heated floors and a walk-in shower.Wind up the stairs to the 2nd floor (the lower hayloft, originally) to comfortable sitting area, a closet full of toys, games and puzzles, and a bedroom suite with a 2nd TV, 2 twin beds, a comfortable single pullout couch, and a tub/shower in the bath. This suite would work well as a children’s hideaway, but the beds are full-sized and comfortable for adults as well! Climb to the third floor (the upper hayloft, originally) to another large bedroom suite equipped with queen bed, daybed with trundle, and a soaking tub in the bathroom. The ceilings of the 3rd floor are the original barn board (well insulated above) and there are shelves packed with books for all ages. Outside of the house, there is a large patio with a gas grill and lots of seating, a wonderful flower garden, a lawn that is perfect for croquet, and stone stairs leading to our wooded lot.We supply all you might need for a relaxing vacation, from a stocked pantry to beach towels. There is a Pack’n’Play crib & a high chair on sight. If there are other things you might require (such as a lobster cooker), please ask, as we may be able to provide them. If you would like help designing your Downeast adventure, we will gladly work with you to plan excursions that fit you interests and abilities from hikes in the Acadia to ferryboat rides to explore the islands in our bays.
