People dream of having a tranquil, relaxing place for romantic getaways or family vacations. A home that washes away all the stresses of the world as soon as you step foot inside. That’s exactly what the designers of the Spruce Point Cottage had in mind.
The Spruce Point Cottage in Booth Bay Harbor, Maine offers views that you thought only existed in movies.
Whitten Architects designed the beautiful cottage, but it wasn’t without its setbacks. The original home on the property violated zoning laws and was far too close to the water. After moving the house back from the shore, the architects went to work on redesigning the lakeside cottage.
The final result is absolutely stunning. Let’s start the tour of the whimsical Spruce Point Cottage.
Who doesn’t dream of waking up to beautiful water views?
From outside, the cottage looks small and unassuming. Don’t let that fool you.
The house built-for-two was moved back, and the floorplan was designed in an L-shape to hug the curves of the coastline.
The gorgeous lake views from the kitchen and dining space are breathtaking. Imagine preparing meals or enjoying coffee with the blue waters all around.
The numerous windows provide an ample amount of natural light.
The small living room feels cozy and inviting with the stone fireplace. Yet, open and airy with the sliding glass doors.
Snuggling up with a book, a blanket, and some hot chocolate seems like the perfect scenario for this living room.
The upstairs bedroom is just as magnificent. Giant folding glass doors open the room to the fresh lake air to watch the boats sail past.
It’d be impossible not to sleep like a baby with that cool breeze and fresh air coming through.
Heading back downstairs, we head outside to the magnificent outdoor area. With plenty of seating and space, many nights entertaining friends and watching the sunset are sure to be had.
A porch swing to the right and additional lakeside seating with a firepit down the path.
A large deck that wraps around the lakeside part of the house is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
It might just be a ‘cottage,’ but it packs a lot of house into a small floorplan. With views like that, why would you ever want to leave?
