Perfect for year round living, part time or weekly rentals, this private home on a dead end road, is a gem. You will find the lovely living room with shiny wood floors and a large window overlooking the front deck. The living room opens out into a cozy dining room with wood floors, wainscoting, and a sliding glass door. The kitchen is well appointed and inviting as well as having a small breakfast nook with doors which hide the washer and dryer. The primary bedroom is en suite for private luxury. The bathroom was updated in 2025 and the doors between the bed & bath are wood with glass panes & privacy window treatments. There are 2 other bedrooms, each with ample closet space, as well as a 2nd full bathroom that was updated in 2025. Behind the house is a large backyard surrounded by woods and includes a good size deck for barbecuing, sun bathing, or star gazing. The home is close to many Acadia National Park hiking trails, Echo Lake Beach, & just 2 miles from downtown Southwest Harbor & the Causeway Club for a bit of golfing on the ocean. There is a full house, automatic generator & town water. Besides all of this the property has a very successful history of weekly rentals. This house will not last long so make an appointment to see it today.
