Escape to a newly renovated cottage full of unique seaside charm, nestled on a working waterfront in the once active, Sprucehead Quarry. This cottage used to house the miners as they came off the boats to work the quarry. This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat offers a blend of modern comfort and nautical character. Featuring stainless steel appliances, original wood paneling, and warm wood flooring throughout, the cottage invites you to unwind in style. With a king bed and full bed upstairs, plus a cozy pull-out couch in the sunroom, it comfortably accommodates guests. The full bathroom on the second floor has an oversized walk-in shower. The sunroom, with its gas-burning woodstove, is an ideal spot to relax and soak in the tranquil ambiance of the water and nature.
Step outside onto multiple decks and a balcony, where you can bask in sunshine, listen to the sounds of the sea, and watch the world go by. The cottage's location adds a fascinating historical touch, as it sits on land that was once the Sprucehead Quarry, which provided stone used in iconic landmarks like Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, the Auditorium Building in Chicago, and the post office in Bar Harbor. With so much rich history surrounding you, combined with modern comforts and views, this charming cottage offers an unforgettable getaway.
Kayaks can be launched down the road, just a short drive from the cottage, tide dependent. Bring your bikes, water crafts, walking shoes, and nature-watching eyes.
