Every once in awhile an historic Inn of sizable importance becomes available for sale. This historic in town Bar Harbor Bed and Breakfast for sale is just that!
In 1903, famed Bar Harbor architect Frederick L Savage built the bed and breakfast as his personal residence, fronting on leafy Atlantic Avenue, one of the prettiest residential streets in the village. The lovely Tudor Revival home featured artfully crafted massive granite block in the construction of its first floor and buttressed front terrace, as well as the imposing wall along the front of the property. Today, this Tudor cottage is very little changed from Frederick Savage’s original design. Sensitive and thoughtful updates have been undertaken to convert the house into one of Bar Harbor’s favorite B&B’s.

The bed and breakfast also boast a spacious and well-appointed kitchen with granite counters, tile floors, two dishwashers, two sinks, Wolf range, plenty of cabinets. Owner’s quarters is a few steps down from the kitchen and offers privacy, a comfortable office area, living room, private courtyard, two private entrances (ground level) and a lower level bedroom with bath (newly renovated with glass enclosed tiled shower).
This property is a very important part of Bar Harbor’s architectural and social history. Its preservation and beauty today are due entirely to the fact that it can be used as a vital business thus supporting its maintenance and ongoing restoration and modernization. Historic homes are seldom viable as private homes today, and the rebirth of it as a premier B&B for accommodating discriminating visitors ensures its continuing prominence in this historic village. The brilliance of Frederick Savage’s vision and design has made this possible.
