Set in the heart of the Village of Northeast Harbor, Cove End is a distinguished waterfront estate that embodies the grace and tradition of Maine's storied summer colonies. Designed in 1931 by the renowned architectural firm of Little & Russell for Barton Eddison and cherished for five decades as the home of Brooke Astor, the property represents a rare opportunity to steward an important piece of Northeast Harbor history. Occupying 3.3 private acres with 469 feet of frontage on Gilpatrick Cove, the estate enjoys sweeping water views across an expansive lawn. A large granite terrace provides an elegant setting for outdoor entertaining, while a secluded garden and heated swimming pool create a private retreat for family and guests. Designed for effortless Maine summer living, the residence features grand yet inviting spaces, including a dramatic sunken living room, library, and formal dining room, each centered around its own fireplace. Ten bedrooms offer exceptional accommodations for generations of family and friends. Rich in architectural character and historical significance, Cove End presents an extraordinary restoration opportunity. For the discerning buyer, this legacy property offers the chance to reimagine and revitalize one of Northeast Harbor's notable waterfront estates while preserving its timeless elegance and remarkable heritage.
