The whole main floor in a single look — living room, dining table, kitchen, Coffee Bar, and a wall of windows bringing Sawyer Harbor in from every angle. Ten guests, one space, zero compromise.
Sit on the sofa and look straight through the floor-to-ceiling windows — fire pit, yard, and Sawyer Harbor are all right there. The view from inside is just as good as the view outside.
ull an Adirondack up and let the fire do the rest. Sawyer Harbor evenings are built around this spot — long conversations, cold drinks, and a sky full of stars you forgot existed.
Open plan from front door to back windows — you never lose sight of the harbor from the main floor, whether you're cooking, eating, or just standing there with a coffee.
