About this home

Classic Maine cottage with a rental unit which have both been beautifully maintained. Built in 1917, the home has impressive wood floors along with darker wooden doors and window frames which give the home a warm, rich feeling. The living room is ample and boasts a beautiful wood and brick hearth along with a lovely wooden mantel. The living room opens on to an enclosed, three season wrap around sunny porch. With lots of windows you have the sense of being outdoors from the comfort of a sitting room. Also, connected to the living room is a lovely dining room which leads to the large, well -equipped kitchen that is big enough for a table and chairs. Beyond the kitchen is a handy laundry room and a half bath. A wooden staircase in the living room takes you up to the second floor which boasts a full bath and four bedrooms, one of which currently functions as an office. The property also has a large three bay garage/workshop with ample space for storage and projects. And finally there is a cozy rental cottage on the property. It is a very fine bungalow with a screened in porch, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a full bath. This is a very well - cared - for home, ready to move into. Close to the Seawall entrance to Acadia National Park which includes Ship's Harbor, Wonderland, and the Bass Harbor Light. This is a gem of a property on Mount Desert Island. 2025 building inspection available.
