221 Harbor Rd, Swans Island, ME 04685

Swans Island Classic: Historic early 1900's Victorian Home with Colonial influences. Perched on the hillside overlooking Burnt Coat Harbor, this well maintained 4-bedroom home offers nice views of the harbor and beyond. The large, covered front porch is a stately and welcoming entry to this grand home. The generous entry hall with open staircase leading to the second floor is stunning. The large bay windowed living and dining rooms, with coffered ceilings and solid pocket doors, look toward the harbor and each have a wood stove. Updated kitchen with granite counters offers a pass-through to dining room built-ins, harkening back to another time. Four bedrooms each with large closets, one full bath with clawfoot tub/shower, and a large landing with built-in bookshelves complete the second floor. A small adjacent room to one bedroom could be used as a sewing room, dressing room, or another full bathroom. Hardwood floors and detailed woodwork throughout, all in excellent condition. This home incorporates the best of modern living with the charm of a classic island home. Full, walkout cemented daylight basement. Roomy unfinished attic with ladder access. Gorgeous property grounds with mature perennial beds and flowering shrubs and trees. Located in a close-knit neighborhood and within easy walking distance of the lighthouse.
4 Bed 1 Bath 2,600 Sq Ft 0.75 Ac.
