The Carina House on Monhegan Island

The Carina House on Monhegan Island (2 Beds · 2 Baths · 1,600 Sq Ft)

Set directly along the unpaved village lane of Monhegan Island ten miles offshore in the Gulf of Maine, The Carina House is a 1920 silver-weathered cedar-shingle island cottage accented with barn-red window casings and gable trim. Inside, wide-plank hardwood floors, painted structural timber posts, six-over-one sash windows, and an upper-level cathedral studio beneath exposed board-and-batten rafters reflect a century of Maine offshore artist-colony vernacular.
