Set among the established coastal homes of a charming Maine village, the Matchbox Carriage House stands as a thoughtful reimagining of the dilapidated garage that once occupied this site. Embracing its picturesque setting with views of Penobscot Bay, this new structure serves as a versatile getaway, seamlessly blending with its historic surroundings while offering modern living and entertaining spaces.

Situated along the rugged Maine coastline, this contemporary guest house was thoughtfully designed to complement the primary residence while offering a secluded retreat for friends and family. Nestled into the rocky terrain, the two-level structure harmonizes with its natural surroundings, enhancing the coastal landscape rather than competing with it.

This historic Camden home tells a long and distinguished story of life in small-town coastal Maine over the past two centuries. Moved to its current location in the early 20th century, this 1785 colonial has undergone several additions over the years, resulting in its current H-shaped configuration. The home’s renovation preserved the primary antique structure in its original condition while integrating modern systems and amenities. The middle addition was demolished in 2013 and replaced with a more fluid layout, including a bright, modern kitchen, an expansive dining room, and two unique master suites.
