Rare Restaurant Opportunity in Downtown Bar Harbor Presented is your chance to realize the dream: owning a boutique restaurant in the legendary village of Bar Harbor. The location here offers 14 years of momentum as a popular restaurant, as well as a two bedroom, second floor apartment great for rental income, staff housing or ownerâEUR(tm)s quarters. Third bedroom possible if needed. Seller willing to consider a lease/purchase - please inquire. Located at the beginning of Cottage Street, one of the three main roads in the village, 135 Cottage Street is ideally situated between 5 eating establishments. The clustering of restaurant options helps to bring patron attention to this side of the village. The past tenant only served dinner, leaving incredible expansion potential for you to discover. Directly next door, the Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop does a brisk business as the busiest bike rental shop on Mount Desert Island. Literally hundreds of summer visitors a day are outfitted with bikes right next door. An incredible untapped customer base awaits supplying the bikers with breakfast, boxed lunches to go or lunch when they return, with their appetites, from the carriage trails of Acadia. In addition, the most popular breakfast spot on the island, 2 Cats, is directly across the street. In July & August it is not uncommon to have a 40 minute wait for breakfast at 2 Cats. Many would be diners simply head elsewhere in search of faster dining options to get their day started. These components present an outstanding opportunity to expand in several directions. The restaurant seats 25 with room for 7 to 9 more at the bar. There are 2 bathrooms in the restaurant for patron use and the kitchen area measures (16' x 24' +/-). The full basement on hand is ideal for additional inventory storage and has another bathroom with shower & laundry area. Included in the building is a 2 bedroom apartment on the second floor (possibly 3) ~ perfect for proprietor or staff housing or rental income. The apartment offers two bedrooms (one at each end of the building), an alcove that could be a 3rd bedroom, a full bathroom, a living room, an eat-in kitchen and a 2nd story deck. The apartment has undergone some renovations including refinishing of the wood floors, rebuilding the deck, new kitchen appliances, new Pergo flooring in the kitchen & 2nd bedroom and some new windows. This offering represents the only boutique restaurant space currently available in Bar Harbor and is also the most affordable one by a large margin.
