About this property
The Reminisce Vacation Home 5br/3bt, Downtown Bar Harbor
This is very special house for me and my husband. 9 years ago I used to live right next door working the crazy summer hours and trying to build a better future for me.
Then I met someone special. So it happened on a date, we went for a walk, about 9 years ago, on the way to my home then, we stopped at the corner of this home, and we stayed, and we talked for hours... This is where we kissed for the first time! :)
Thus the name "The Reminisce", hopefully you folks are going to make just as great memories here as we did!
This home had originally being build in the early/mid 1900s.
The house had gone a lot of chopped renovations and changes. It just never felt complete....
We took on this great challenge saved all the solid bones from an old house and did the worst to bring it back to beauty-full gut remodel.
Just about everything is absolutely brand new or being brought to it's once new glory.
When creating the design- we were trying to achieve the charm of an old house, but still contemporary to fit the needs of a modern family.
The interior:
Entry way of the house is all Italian tiled mud room with heated floor, where you can live your clothes and shoes .
Please- be mindful do not wear shoes in the house!
Everywhere we installed brand new stained white oak hardwood floors.
The home opens up immediately to the dining room, living room and fully equipped kitchen, majority of the first floor is open concept and spacious.
Dining room fits comfortably 8 people.
There is a nice electric fireplace to bring up the atmosphere in this space, 60" TV, and the kitchen welcomes you with large island able to fit 8 guests on bar stools. Tucked into a closet you will also find our stacked laundry and drier for your convenience. Detergent is located in the cleaners closet by the stairs.
Two of our bedrooms- both with king size beds are also located on the first floor, together with office/chill area by the back french door leading to the back yard.
Across the dining room by the stairs is the master bedroom.
It has the original all brick fireplace outfitted with electric unit for ambiance, 55" TV and has a desk as well if you need to get some work done. Also en-suite full bathroom, tile- heated floor with a build in tub/shower unit.
Trough the kitchen, if you turn right before entering the office area you will find spacious bedroom with a king size bed and 55" TV.
Our bright office/reading area has 2 comfortable armchairs, perfect for reading, large work desk and the French full glass doors leading you to the back yard.
In the same space is located our 2nd full bathroom, tile- heated floor with build in shower unit.
From the dining area there will be stairs going to the second floor by the stairs is our cleaners closet with some additional supplies.
There are 3 bedrooms and one full bathroom with a enclosed shower unit.
First bedroom has a queen size bed, a desk, electric fireplace, closet and 55" TV.
Second bedroom has also queen size bed 55" TV and is outfitted with open face cast iron clothes wardrobe.
And last third bedroom is the kids room, very spacious with 4 twin size beds and a large closet.

Exterior of the house:
