Gracefully sited along the north shore of Sutton Island, Church House is a rare and distinguished coastal retreat, offering an extraordinary blend of historic character, privacy, and natural beauty. Built in 1895 and recognized as one of the island's earliest shingle-style cottages, the residence commands a remarkable setting with 336+/- feet of shorefront, 4.30+/- acres, and sweeping views across the water to Mount Desert Island and the mountains of Acadia. A full wraparound porch sets an elegant and welcoming tone, inviting leisurely summer mornings, ocean-facing gatherings, and quiet moments offering a memorable vantage point for watching the changing light, passing boats, vistas of Acadia. Inside, the great room is oriented toward the water and anchored by a brick fireplace, creating a gracious central space for entertaining and relaxation. Formal dining and informal sitting areas flow naturally from the main living spaces, each enhanced by the home's enduring craftsmanship and serene coastal outlook. Exquisite wood floors, walls, and ceilings lend warmth and authenticity throughout, reflecting the timeless artistry of a classic Maine island cottage. The generous kitchen and pantry provide ample space for preparing meals, hosting guests, and enjoying the rhythms of island living. A main-level bedroom and bath offer comfort and convenience, while six additional bedrooms and two baths upstairs provide abundant accommodations for family and guests. Thoughtful updates--including septic, electrical, roof shingles, and seasonal exterior painting--reflect ongoing care while preserving the home's historic integrity. Timeless, private, and beautifully positioned, Church House shares an invitation to a refined island lifestyle--where heritage, oceanfront beauty, and a deep sense of place come together in an exceptional Maine coastal setting.
