About This Home

Tucked away in upper Seal Harbor, this inviting year-round cottage is set on approximately .45 acres and offers a rare combination of character, comfort, and versatility, with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a 2-car garage, and a large barn. The beautifully landscaped grounds feature a spacious fenced backyard, seasonal gardens, and ample room for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the outdoors. Inside, thoughtful upgrades enhance both style and function, including radiant tile flooring in the kitchen, back hall, and full bath areas, along with cherry cabinetry, quartz countertops, and updated appliances. An updated upstairs full bath provides added convenience, while the primary bedroom has been refreshed with new flooring and a heat pump for year-round comfort. Additional improvements such as new roofing on all structures, updated windows throughout the home, and a propane stove in the living room further elevate the property's appeal. Just moments from the village of Seal Harbor and Seal Harbor Beach, and only minutes from Acadia National Park and Land & Garden Preserve, this exceptional property offers an ideal blend of coastal charm, modern updates, and sought-after Mount Desert Island living.
