Property Description
Sited prominently in the heart of West Street's Historic District, Greenlawn is an exquisitely restored, oceanfront cottage offering commanding views of Frenchman Bay and Bar Island. This incredible, shingle-style home has been lovingly and completely renovated with superior craftsmanship and amazing attention to detail. Originally built in 1887, the grand, year-round cottage has large windows that fill the interior spaces with wonderful natural light and frame the sweeping views of the bay. Amenities include 6 en-suite bedrooms, a 1-bedroom guest apartment, 9 fireplaces, and a delightful gourmet kitchen with an 8-burner Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, custom cabinetry and honed granite counters. The large master suite offers two walk-in closets, dual master bathrooms and a separate wood-paneled den with a fireplace. Wonderful floor plan is ideal for entertaining with large living room with fireplace, a library with mahogany paneling and book shelves, a formal dining room and a delightful, 4-season sun room with a fireplace and wet bar. Many of the common rooms have access to the large blue stone terrace overlooking the water and lovely grounds. A lush lawn with colorful perennial gardens gently slopes to the ocean's edge, with a gravel beach at lower tides. Greenlawn enjoys a wonderful in-town location and is just seconds from restaurants, shops, Acadia National Park and all Bar Harbor amenities. Equipped with high-speed internet, Greenlawn is the perfect summer or year-round home.The extensive renovation included bringing the interior spaces down to the studs, structural improvements, a new roof, heating system and air conditioning and all new Marvin windows replicating the window design of the original cottage. It is essentially a brand new home with modern amenities that retains the original features and design of a grand Bar Harbor cottage of yesteryear. Greenlawn is a superior property, truly in better condition today than when it was built.
