42 Strada Principale

A private haven in a prime Southwest Harbor location. This adorable three bedroom home was built in 1920, and has three bedrooms and one and a half baths, perfect for a fresh start or a summer retreat. The covered porch along the entirety of the home’s width welcomes you in, and also provides a lovely spot to sit and enjoy any time of day. High ceilings and beautiful maple floors are throughout the first floor, which has a circular flow between the living room, dining room, kitchen and den. The living room has a woodstove insert for its fireplace, which supplements the home’s baseboard heat. The kitchen was renovated in 2014 and is functional and timeless in its design, making it feel like a historic home while offering modern amenities for the seasoned cook. The first floor bathroom was also renovated in 2014, and features a claw-foot tub and a slate vanity top. The second floor has three bedrooms, each with built-in drawers for great storage, and two with window seats for great reading perches. A half bath completes the second level. There is a sunny deck privately located on the back of the house, a two-car garage, and enough space on the lot for a secondary dwelling. The property itself is centrally located between Southwest Harbor’s beautiful stone causeway, Beal’s Lobster Pier and downtown Southwest; a quiet neighborhood with easy access to many activities. This property is a rare gem and a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking for a Southwest Harbor classic. Property comes furnished with the exception of some artwork and personal items belonging to the sellers.
