 Property Description:
Originally called “The Anchorage”, this property is a classic shorefront, 7 bedroom and 5.5 bath cottage in Bar Harbor, with views across the harbor and inner islands. Roche & Tilden designed, with later modifications by Fred Savage, the home has a rich history of early Bar Harbor society, being one of the first estates to be built by those migrating from the luxury hotels to private shorefront ownership. The village shops and restaurants are a short distance away, as are the park’s carriage trails. An inviting, turreted porch overlooks the sea and delightful pebble beach, offering ample room for entertaining or quiet gazing at the harbor. The third floor has several rooms, and the garage also has additional bedrooms upstairs, adding versatility to the property. An interesting footnote of its storied past includes a significant period of ownership by the novelist Lucille Papin Borden toward the end of the 19th century.
Additional Comments:
The quintessential coastal Maine destination, Bar Harbor has much to offer, with Acadia National Park, exceptional cruising waters and excellent shops and restaurants throughout the village. The spectacular carriage trails of the park are a stone’s throw from Anchorhold, as are the village’s many attractions. Having peace and quiet, while enjoying such easy access to Bar Harbor’s offerings, makes this property all the more attractive for your family - or as your second home.
