Little Acorns

As the quote attributed to Chaucer goes, ’’from little acorns, great oaks grow’’, and this name suits the property perfectly. For what began as one family’s find twenty years ago has grown, through years of devoted care, into one of Northeast Harbor’s most cherished homes. Meticulously maintained and lovingly enjoyed, Little Acorns is a stylish haven of privacy in the heart of the village. Set on a grand and private lawn in the quiet, sought-after location of Manchester Road, the property offers a rare combination: the serenity of a fully private setting with the convenience of in-town living. The five-bedroom, year-round residence was built in 1990 with a discerning eye to detail, its nautical and shingle-style touches were accomplished by talented craftsmen to the highest standards. This spacious home suits your every need, with a large living room, family room, den, dining room, and sunroom. The main floor study can also serve as a downstairs en-suite bedroom, with a full bath immediately adjoining. The fully furnished residence also includes an open exterior deck, an attached four-car heated garage with living space above, a mudroom, a full generator, and a large outbuilding suitable for a studio, office, or guest house, plus a gardener’s shed. A discreet, fenced gardener’s area completes this refined property. Surrounded by lush organic landscaping with flowering trees and shrubs, Little Acorns sits on a large, surveyed lot, with close proximity to Northeast Harbor’s clubs, golf course, and in-town restaurants and shops. Fully private from the street, yet close to everything the village offers. Two decades of devoted care have only deepened its character; Little Acorns is a unique offering with many attributes that must be seen to be appreciated.
