The Map House is a timeless shingle-style retreat tucked away in the heart of Seal Harbor, offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, exceptional craftsmanship, and beautifully landscaped gardens that create a private, storybook setting. Thoughtfully designed with inspiration drawn from nearby Acadia National Park, every space reflects an appreciation for artistry, nature, and enduring New England charm.
At the heart of the home is a striking custom granite double-sided Rumford fireplace, evoking tribute to the iconic stone bridges found throughout Acadia. Equally unforgettable is the kitchen island, where a one-of-a-kind Anne Wheeler tile mural serves as both artwork and conversation piece, illustrating the many Park access points just moments from The Map House.
French doors from the great room open to a covered porch, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surrounding woodland privacy. The first floor features a spacious primary suite with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, a generous home office or study, and a welcoming mudroom entry complete with abundant storage, laundry, and a half bath.
Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy sitting room with built-in bookcases and a vintage rolling library ladder offer inviting spaces for family and guests. An attached, heated two-car garage and a full basement provide excellent storage and exciting potential for future finished living space.
A few steps away from the charming village of Seal Harbor with its popular beachfront, you'll enjoy easy access to local shops, coffee, the library, and post office. Carriage trails to both Acadia National Park and the beautiful 1,400-acre Land and Garden Preserve are just a few steps in the opposite direction. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence or a peaceful coastal retreat, The Map House offers a rare opportunity to experience the beauty, craftsmanship, and tranquility of Mount Desert Island living.
