Nestled in the Historic District of West Street, Greenlawn is a beautifully restored cottage by the ocean showcasing stunning views of Frenchman Bay and Bar Island. This remarkable shingle-style home, meticulously renovated with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, was sold for $4 million. Originally constructed in 1887, this grand cottage features expansive windows that allow natural light to flood the rooms while showcasing picturesque bay views. The property includes 6 en-suite bedrooms, a guest apartment, 9 fireplaces, and a charming gourmet kitchen equipped with an 8-burner Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom cabinetry, and honed granite counters. The spacious layout is designed for entertaining, featuring a large living room with a fireplace, a mahogany-paneled library with bookshelves, a formal dining room, and a delightful four-season sunroom complete with a fireplace and wet bar. Many common areas have direct access to a generous blue stone terrace overlooking the water and beautifully landscaped grounds.
The expansive master suite boasts two walk-in closets, two master bathrooms, and a private wood-paneled den with a fireplace. The lush lawn, adorned with vibrant perennial gardens, gently slopes down to a gravel beach at lower tides. With its prime in-town location, Greenlawn is conveniently just a few minutes away from restaurants, shops, Acadia National Park, and all the amenities Bar Harbor has to offer. With high-speed internet access, Greenlawn serves as an ideal summer retreat or a comfortable year-round residence. The extensive renovation encompassed gutting the interior, implementing structural upgrades, installing a new roof, heating system, air conditioning, and replacing all windows with new Marvin models that mirror the original designs. Essentially, it is like a brand-new home with all modern conveniences, while maintaining the classic charm and aesthetic of a historic Bar Harbor cottage. Greenlawn was previously listed for $4.25 million with Jamie O’Keefe from The Knowles Company.
