About This Home

As of September 2024

Though you may never want to leave the huge chef's kitchen in this modern, beautifully situated in-town Bar Harbor home, when you do you'll find many other spaces just as enticing to enjoy. The large deck begs for hosting duties as you entertain friends and family in this ideally located property. Literally seconds to the heart of Bar Harbor's West Street, home of historic mansions and enticing restaurants and ending at the iconic Town Pier, this contemporary home blends seamlessly into the surroundings as privacy is the key with well-landscaped walls and vegetation hiding the large home and the spacious and beautiful yard with gardens, ocean views and wild Acadia feel outdoor spaces. One can see from the aerial photos that the home is hardly visible though located in the middle of all of the fun. Whether as a year-round home or a summer residence, this property offers the best of two worlds in its location, location, location.
