85 Surry By the Bay Lane, Surry, ME, 04684 | $675,000

This new 3 bedroom, 2 bath house is currently being built in Surry, by a long time local builder, with the latest technology for energy efficiency exceeding that required by the current building code. Similar houses built by this builder have excellent HERS ratings. Energy efficiency upgrades include 2 x the roof, wall and foundation insulation required; advanced framing; air sealing; energy star certified windows; and highly efficient heating. Heating and cooling are both provided by high efficiency heat pumps. There is radiant heat under the tiled bathroom floors, and backup hydronic baseboard units in each bedroom for individual comfort. All three bedrooms and two baths are on one level with
a finished 882 sq ft flex room in the walk out
basement. The primary bedroom has an ensuite
bath with double sinks, accessible large tiled shower and linen closet; a walk-in closet with the laundry closet nearby. A great room is centered around a gas fireplace, for heat and ambiance. An open concept layout connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room for great entertaining space. The house is under construction in June 2024 and the buyer may contract for upgrades to the kitchen appliances, flooring and bath and faucet fixtures, until those selected by the builder have been installed as work progresses. New construction is rare in this part of Maine. This house provides comfortable year round living as a primary house or for vacations now and retirement later. The location in Surry, halfway between Blue Hill and Ellsworth, provides easy drives to Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island as well as Deer Isle, Brooksville and Brooklin on the Blue Hill peninsula. This is an
active construction site so appointments are
required to view the house. Note that the photos are of a similar house built with the same plan, in
southern Maine. See the floor plans in the
Documents section of the listing.
