382 Main St, Bar Harbor, ME 04609

During the "cottage" era, Bar Harbor was the premier destination for the very wealthy in our country. It has since become the popular destination for many families and tourists. But there are some vestiges of that era that still exist. This fully restored cottage was once the residence of the gardener to large waterfront estate. Built for Edward Coles, son of the first governor of Illinois in the late 1800s, it is a relic from the bygone cottage era. Conveniently located just a 1/3 mile from the downtown district, it's just a short 10-minute walk into town. It's also just a short walk (in the other direction) to the wonderful Compass Harbor shoreline, and an Acadia hiking trail. This lovely updated cottage features an open floor plan. Kitchen with granite counters and custom cabinets, spacious living room with fireplace, two bedrooms, 2 full baths, washer dryer and deck just off the kitchen on a full acre of wooded land.
