Islesford Residence

A new four bedroom summer residence on Little Cranberry Island, faces Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. The owners asked for a design which maximized privacy and flexibility for visits by their children and grandchildren. Two separate buildings are connected by a screened porch, which is the entry and outdoor “mud room,” and frames views of the park. The building to the left of the porch is comprised of three bedrooms, two baths, and a small living room and kitchen, intended for the extended family. The main house to the right of the porch is comprised of a first floor open living-dining-kitchen space with a bay window seat facing toward the mountain. On the second floor are a master bedroom, study, and two baths, insuring maximum privacy for the parents.
