The Perch, located in desirable South Rockland, has the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor space. In addition to providing a wonderful spot for relaxing, The Perch is also an ideal launching pad for all kinds of adventures up and down Maine's Midcoast.
Owned by an artist The Perch will appeal to those with a creative streak and/or love to cook!
The Stats:
1.5 Stories, 1,200 sq. ft.
Spacious private yard with a gas grill and deck.
3 bedroom, 1 bathroom: Ideal for 2-4 people.
High speed 100+ mbps WiFi internet access for phones, laptops/tablets, and streaming shows on the flat screen TV in the living room.
The heart of the Perch is the well appointed eat-in kitchen with adjacent 6 seat dining room. We love to cook so this kitchen has most everything you might need to cook at home including a big lobster pot!
There is a newer gas range with plenty of surface area for lots of pots and a large French door refrigerator with bottom drawer freezer. Of course there are stock items that include things like a coffee maker, coffee grinder, microwave, and dishwasher too. We also keep a variety of plastic bags, wrap, aluminum foil, etc. for your convenience.
The living room has a wonderfully comfortable leather sofa, various other seating for lounging, and a bookshelf full of books and games for you to enjoy.
The main bedroom and bathroom are on the first level so The Perch is ideal for a couple. Use the smaller upstairs bedrooms for a friend or older kids.
Over the years we have found that The Perch is best suited for a couple or a family with older children as it is an over 100 year old Cape style home. As is typical for older Capes the upstairs is accessed by a steep staircase and the ceilings are low in the upstairs bedrooms. For your sleeping flexibility there is a twin air mattress available.
Cooling: Please note that although there is no central air conditioning there is a heat pump in the kitchen that can be used for either heating or cooling.
There are also fans in all of the bedrooms to help pull in the cooler night air if needed. If anyone in your party is sleeping in the upstairs bedrooms please be aware that they can heat up quite a bit during the day since they are so close to the roof line. That being said the casement bedroom windows can be opened wide to get a nice cross breeze going and the oscillating fans help to cool the bedrooms by pulling in the cooler seaside evening air.
Heating: Heat pump located in the kitchen, forced hot air (oil furnace), and a propane gas cast iron Jotul stove in the living room.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room with newer HE front loading washer and dryer. Here you will also find the on-demand water heater and a recycling center.
Entertainment: The living room is equipped with a flat screen, ROKU box for streaming, and hook up for laptop/tablet streaming. Please note that there is no cable TV but we do have a ROKU box so you can stream movies/shows via Netflix (provided) and any other subscriptions you may have personally.
There is one bathroom with a claw foot tub/shower combination that is located on the main level.
The Perch has a deck located off of the kitchen with outdoor seating. This is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Adjacent to the deck is a gas grill for your summer grilling enjoyment. If you have some smaller toys/bicycles you are welcome to store them in our shed.
Pets: We love animals and are pet friendly. Please just send a quick note telling us a little bit about your pet and we are likely to approve their stay too :) We do have a straightforward Pet Addendum that outlines common sense rules for your pet.
