New Listing: 26 Hummingbird Lane, Bar Harbor, ME 04609

At the top of Mount Desert Island, just five miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park and the village of Bar Harbor, sits this recently renovated year-round cottage on 1.45 acres. With 150 ft of frontage on Hadley Point Beach accessed via an aluminum ramp instead of stairs, getting to the sandy shore and portaging paddleboards, kayaks, and picnics is super easy. Bird and marine life abound (seals!). Sunsets are spectacular as are walks on the beach in any season. With an open loft, the ceiling soars above the combined living/dining room, which features hardwood floors and a cozy woodstove. A door leads directly from the kitchen to the wraparound deck, ideal for grilling, al fresco dining, lounging, and hosting larger summer gatherings. The spacious primary bedroom is on the first floor with carpet, a full tiled bath, and laundry. Stairs access the versatile loft on the second floor with water views. Currently the garage is used for beach toys, a workspace and ample storage. Hummingbird Lane is just off Bay View Drive, a quiet paved road beloved by area locals for running and walking anytime of the year. Enjoy it privately or have the option to continue successful short-term rentals if purchased as a primary residence (30 days or more if not).
