About this property
Charming 5 BDR/4BA home in the Heart of Bar Harbor
The restaurants, shops and activities of Bar Harbor are just steps away! You’ll have our our 3,000 square foot, 5-bedroom, 4 bathroom historic house to use as a home base while you explore downtown and Acadia National Park. Off-street parking for four vehicles is included. There is ample outdoor space for dining, lawn games or relaxing on the porch. Walk to everything, including grocery stores, park shuttles, the Marina, bars/restaurants and anything else on your Bar Harbor bucket list!
This 3-story circa 1903 home has been lovingly maintained over the years. Original woodwork and built-ins blend with modern furnishings and decor to make a comfortable space with a classy, relaxed vibe.
First Floor: Living room, sitting area, dining room (seats up to 12 with table fully expanded), wetbar/coffee bar, kitchen with island seating
Second Floor: Master (king) bedroom with en-suite bath and sitting area, queen bedroom with en-suite bath, king bedroom and separate full bath
Third floor: King bedroom, Bedroom with two double beds, full bathroom and children’s books/toys
The entire house, basement and outdoor areas are accessible to guests. There is a small owners closet in the basement that is not accessible to guests.
**Please note, there are no bathrooms on the first floor of the house. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the second or third floors.**
Please, no pets except for service animals. Sorry, no exceptions.
Located right in the heart of downtown, our house is on a street once referred to as “Mistress Row” or “Rotten Row,” due to it's reputation for housing J.P Morgan’s mistresses while his yacht was anchored in town. It is a peaceful residential street, but is within a few blocks of all of the hustle and bustle of restaurants, coffee shops, bars, whale watching, shopping grocery stores and more.
Within three blocks are an organic grocery store- A&B Naturals and Hannaford's (large chain grocery store) with everything you could need for your stay. This is the perfect location if you want to do most of your sight-seeing by foot, as you can easily leave your car and either walk to destinations or walk to a shuttle stop to visit points further out.
The location is perfect for walking to explore downtown. Everything Bar Harbor offers that is accessible by foot is within about 0.5 miles/1 km from the house.
The Island Explorer is a free shuttle run by L.L. Bean that has stops located at multiple areas in Acadia National Park and also Bar Harbor, including a stop at the Village Green (approximately 5 min walk from the house).
