About This Home
Secluded on a private road on Frenchman's Hill in Bar Harbor, this charming single-family home with turnkey rental over the detached 2-car garage offers a serene, wooded sanctuary near Acadia National Park. The property sits on a spacious 3.31-acre lot, surrounded by woods, a stream, and a nearby pond, providing an idyllic Maine escape. Built in 1988, the inviting home features wide plank hardwood floors, wood beams, a gas fireplace, and a cozy window seat. The kitchen boasts granite counters and an open floor plan ideal for entertaining. There is a first-floor laundry area, study nook, bedroom, and full bathroom. Bathroom details include a cast iron tub and vanity accented with tiles from local artist Rocky Mann. The second-floor master bedroom is designed with large windows to maximize the incredible forest views and natural landscaped yard. There is a room off of the master bedroom. A unique architectural feature is the belvedere, cupola, above a second-floor bedroom, which offers views of Blue Hill and incredible sunsets. A key feature of this property is its proven short-term rental income. Above the detached two-car garage is a beautifully furnished, efficiency apartment with its own separate driveway and private guest parking area. The compatible storage shed separates the garage from the main house. The apartment alone has a proven annual rental income exceeding fifty thousand dollars with the main home generating an additional thirteen thousand monthly during the summer rental season. This makes the property a compelling cash positive investment, perfect for an owner-occupant looking to generate significant income.
