About This Home
As of November 2022The Bluff House is a gracious 19th Century Greek Revival ship captain's house, completely restored, and set high on the north end of the island with inviting views over its nearly 18 private and mostly wooded acres with trails leading to over 700 feet of sandy beach on the eastern shore of Islesboro.
As the back of this stately home opens to a sprawling lawn with the views over tree tops east to Penobscot Bay, the Bluff House's privacy, quiet neighborhood, and bucolic feel beckon a time long ago. Set up island, this home is in close proximity to the island's community center, places of interest, and activities.
With up to 5 bedrooms including a first floor primary suite, 3 baths, completely remodeled kitchen and butler's pantry, living room, dining room, library, study, and sunroom, the Bluff House's' architectural elements echo an age of simplicity and elegance, while its systems and structures have been fully updated during thoughtful and meticulous renovation creating a distinguished, historic home of notable character with modern convenience, including a two car garage, 10kw generator, and high speed internet.
A perfect island home ready for year round living or seasonal retreat.
