Circa 1890, this distinguished Shingle Style summer cottage, designed by renowned Gilded Age architect Fred L. Savage, Sweetbriar is one of the original Harborside Cottages that define the architectural heritage of Northeast Harbor. Beautifully preserved, the residence retains its original craftsmanship and timeless elegance while offering spectacular harbor views and exceptional waterfront amenities.
The gracious 14-room home features 7 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths, and 5 fireplaces. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, abundant natural light, and beautifully preserved architectural details create an atmosphere reminiscent of the grand Maine summer estates of a bygone era. Upon entering through the covered front portico, your eye is immediately drawn through the sun-filled rooms to the sparkling waters of Northeast Harbor and Bear Island beyond.
An expansive covered porch overlooks sweeping lawns, mature gardens, and the harbor, providing the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet afternoons enjoying the sea breeze. Set well back from the road for privacy, the estate includes ample parking, a two-car garage with former chauffeur's quarters, and beautifully landscaped grounds with flowering gardens and gently sloping lawns.
A lighted pathway meanders from the house to a private deep-water dock equipped with power, water, and lighting, offering exceptional access for boating and enjoying life on the harbor.
Rich in history and offering the rare combination of architectural significance, privacy, and deep-water frontage, this exceptional property is offered completely furnished, excluding art and Dan Falt sculptures, and is ready to continue its legacy as one of Northeast Harbor's most treasured summer homes.
