Designed by architect William McHenry, and built by Jon D. Woodward and Sons in 1996, 131 Mountain Road is a beautiful house on the side of Blue Hill mountain with a lovely distant view of Blue Hill Bay and many islands. The house design reflects the practical vernacular architecture of the 1800's farmhouses so beloved in New England. The owners expanded the original house to three bedrooms with three baths and added a three- season screened and glass sunroom with an ipe wood floor. The renovations paid particular attention to matching the fine woodworking details throughout the house. There is central air-conditioning with heat pump technology that also supplements the oil fired hot air furnace and wood burning fireplace for heating. Both the air-conditioning unit and furnace were installed in 2017. The house was completely reroofed in 2017 with added ice and water shield. Flagstone patio areas in front and back extend the summertime entertaining space. An attached garage and extra carport provide good vehicle storage space with direct entry to the house through a mudroom for comfortable winter living. The upstairs space in the garage could be built into additional living or studio space. A security system provides added reassurance when the owners are away. The 4.8 acre lot across the road adjoins Blue Hill Heritage Trust conservation land and holds many possibilities for a guest house or studio as well as protecting the view to the water. In addition to being able to walk out of this house to hike Blue Hill mountain, Main Street in Blue Hill with the library, post office, stores, banks, and restaurants, is only 1.5 miles away.
