Unique Nature Inspired New Home Next to Lake in Acadia Park in Bar Harbor

Built in 2004, the Fern Way home is a delightful blend of modern convenience and rustic style.  Designed by a local architect to integrate with the beautiful natural setting of Mount Desert Island, at every turn the interior of Fern Way celebrates the natural world. 

A gently curing driveway through the woods leads to the quiet 4.5 acres that surrounds Fern Way. The attractive exterior is Adirondack style live edge siding, complimented by live cedar posts supporting an entry porch overlooking the large lawn.  Entering the house, two French doors lead you into a large open floor plan allowing for ease and comfort of a large group or family gathering.

Classic post and beam details including a stunning custom banister in maple and a soaring two story stonewall define the sunny living area.  The large kitchen is ideal for preparing family meals with ample counter space, appliances and gadgets.  A screened porch with dinning table and futon couch is the perfect spot to start your day with coffee and end it with sunsets through the trees.  A two-person jetted tub helps ease tired muscles after a fun filled day exploring Acadia.
