Fine Lines
A waterfront home brings a touch of modernity to Islesboro.

"Modern" isn't necessarily the word you think of when you think of Islesboro. Exclusive, perhaps, or traditional -- particularly when it comes to the architecture, which tends toward John Calvin Stevens' Shingle style.And that's what makes the home designed by Robin Elmslie Osler for a Philadelphia couple so distinctive. Neatly constructed of four smaller structures centered around a courtyard garden, the home is distinguished by spare, clean lines that lead the eye always to the water and the setting sun.
