Set on the Clark Point Road, one of Mount Desert Island's most sought-after streets, this historic home is one of Southwest Harbor's most recognizable properties, and a truly rare offering. Built in 1902 as the home of Captain and Mrs. O.L. Mills and thoughtfully renovated over the years, this shingle style residence blends turn-of-the-century craftsmanship with modern amenities. Here, you are greeted by a wraparound porch, providing shade on warm afternoons. The main level unfolds into a series of gracious gathering spaces -- a generous foyer, living and dining rooms anchored by fireplaces, and bar area -- all rich with character, color, and architectural detail. In main home 6 bedrooms, delivering space and privacy -- each has its own full bath, a private balcony/deck, and 4 rooms have their own additional sitting/living rooms with coffee bars. The penthouse suite occupies the 3rd floor, with a private roof deck, shady seating under the gazebo, and hot tub with sweeping views of the harbor. The separate one bedroom bungalow has a lovely living room and kitchenette overlooking its own private deck and patio. The grounds are built for entertaining and relaxation alike. A heated in-ground pool with a slate deck, a large hot tub, and an outdoor shower create a private resort-style oasis, complemented by a large, already-prepared pad ready for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) -- a rare opportunity for additional living space or income. The lower level is a destination in its own right: exposed granite-block walls, reminiscent of a European wine cellar, a full kitchen open to a living area, and spa-style bath with jetted tub and separate shower. Property includes deeded access to the town parking lot and dock. Just a half-mile from the center of town, Southwest Harbor's working waterfront, galleries, and restaurants, and just minutes from the trails of Acadia National Park. Also listed as MLS# 1666070
