NEW LISTING-CASTINE VILLAGE - It's not often that a windmill is attached to a home. In this case the antique windmill ''folly'' was built as a piano studio over a century ago. Its restoration now displays the interior wooden gears to maximum effect. This historic element makes for a perfect yoga studio or home office. It's the terminus of this spectacular shingle-style home, that features light-filled airy contemporary spaces imbued with timeless New England style. The main living area is configured in an L-shaped open plan, with the dining and living room along a bank of windows overlooking a deck and a lush expanse of lawn down to Perkins Street. The living room focuses on a lovely wood burning fireplace. The recently updated kitchen is a total knock-out; it has elements that feel luxe, look fresh, and invite use. Further in both directions on the main floor are rooms and spaces for flexible, modern lifestyles, perfect for work from home professionals (high speed cable), those needing a first floor bedroom and bath, or just a way to spread out and find a nook when there's a houseful of family. Upstairs there are three more bedrooms and two more baths. There are built-in drawers under the eaves in a style reminiscent of vintage summer cottages. Design inspiration for the home was sparked by nostalgia and executed with a decidedly more sophisticated point of view. The proportions and rooms sizes are just right. The large windows, tall ceilings and neutral palette combine to create a harmonious interior that invites the outdoors in. Over the two-car attached garage there is an attractively finished, open bonus room that offers lots of potential. Architect-designed and constructed in 2002, this is a comfortable year round home, with thermopane windows, insulation, central heat/AC. It's had primarily seasonal occupancy by its owner and expert caretaking when not in use. The lovely large lot offers the quietude buyers crave yet in a beautiful seaside village. Must see!
