20 Greeley Avenue, Bar Harbor

Artfully blending beloved vintage with upscale modern elements, this downtown Bar Harbor offering shines bright for both its adventurous use of color and its comprehensive attention to details. Constructed in 1910, an exhaustive, architect assisted overhaul was completed in 2015. Room tally on 3 floors includes 6 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, kitchen with breakfast nook, dining room & living room. Original features include solid wood 5 panel doors with polished wood knobs throughout, maple flooring, fireplace mantle, double pocket doors, clawfoot tub, most trim and that quintessentially “Bar Harbor” stained glass front door. A dizzying list of upgrades includes custom Marvin windows throughout, charming wrap around porch, plumbing, electrical, heating & cooling systems, several bathrooms, cedar shingle siding, top end roof shingles, insulation & exquisite kitchen. While we’re in the kitchen, noteworthy here is the suite of custom cherry cabinetry complimented by cherry fronted appliances, reclaimed wood flooring from the depths of the Penobscot River, BlueStar pro range, Silestone counters and an abundance of windows generous with natural lighting. The living room’s mantle now dons a Jotul wood stove insert, capable of providing both warm ambiance & living space. The primary bedroom enjoys a private bath with dazzling tile floors in stride with the home’s exterior. The remaining 5 bedrooms range in size from comfortable to petite, ensuring a fit for a multitude of uses. Stepping onto the wrap-around covered porch, the space here is enough for the joyful Summer gatherings we all love, spilling over and into the lush lawn and garden areas that help make this village home stand apart. A two vehicle garage is zoned capable of hosting an apartment above, with an uncommon attribute of owning frontage on two streets. Tucked away on no-outlet Greeley Avenue, a rare day sees a tourist wander by, yet still everything in the vibrant downtown remains virtually within your arm’s reach.
