Along the eastern shore of Somes Sound are some of the most attractive shingle style cottages on the entire East Coast. Nestled among these waterfront residences is L'Escale, a signature Fred L. Savage design built in 1890 on the perfect Mount Desert Island setting. An understated granite stairway leads up from the rocky Maine beach to the welcoming lawn and flower gardens bursting with color. Wide wood porch steps carry you up onto the rounded Piazza and covered porch, and this is where you take in the majestic view westward of Somes Sound against a backdrop of Acadian mountains. LEscale carries the traditional asymmetrical lines of a Savage original, adding a round turret with ogee roof to the classic gambrelled main house, with cedar shingle sheathing and copious large windows that all frame the stunning Mount Desert Island views.
