Maine Ocean view

This 3,500 square foot 4 bedroom retirement and vacation home, for a couple with adult children, overlooks the mouth of the Damariscotta River in South Bristol, Maine. The timber frame is hand jointed with no metal connections and has SIP walls and roof panels. Porches and decks are located to foster appreciation of morning and afternoon light. A screen porch, open on 3 sides, catches the ocean breeze and protects from rain and mosquitos. The family room is oriented to enjoy evening sunsets and views up and down the river. The kitchen works well for couple or group cooking, with several food prep areas. Prefinished cementitious siding, unpainted PVC trim and Pella Clad windows resist ocean weathering. Geothermal heat and air conditioning and a solar panel ready roof promise energy efficiency.
