30 Hardys Hill Road, Deer Isle, ME 04627

Welcome to the Captain Hardy House, a beautifully preserved 1900 island cottage steeped in character and coastal charm. Nestled on 2.5 scenic acres in North Deer Isle, this special property features a lovely blend of open lawn, mature trees, and wild blueberry bushes creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. Inside, the home retains much of its original charm, with thoughtfully preserved antique features. A more modern touch comes from the fully reimagined first floor, now a bright, open-concept space filled with natural light thanks to expansive picture windows and a sliding glass door that opens to a generous south and west-facing deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. There are numerous updates with new furnishings, Bosch dishwasher, new washer and dryer, new stove, updated first floor bathroom, fresh paint and other updated and touches. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms, along with a newly updated half bath, offer partial views of Penobscot Bay, the Camden Hills, and the Eggemoggin Reach to the north. On cooler days, the enclosed north-side porch provides a comfortable, glassed-in retreat where you can enjoy the outdoors sheltered from the ocean breeze. Adding versatility and potential, a separate outbuilding, formerly home to Once Upon an Island gift shop, offers endless possibilities: convert it into a workshop, artist's studio, garage, or even guest quarters. Ideally located at the top of the island, the property offers quick access to both the Deer Isle peninsula and the mainland, making it as convenient to reach Blue Hill and surrounding towns as it is to get to Stonington. Enjoy three nearby public beaches. Ferry Landing, Causeway Beach, and Bridge End Park, plus a variety of local hiking trails. Lovingly maintained by its current owners and offered fully furnished, this coastal retreat is ready to welcome you to your year-round island home.
