The home is less than 10 minutes, by car, from Blue Hill, a small town with a grocery co-op, several coffee shops and restaurants, and a park overlooking Mt. Desert Narrows. The E.B. White House, the longtime home of the author now open to the public, is also 10 minutes away. Acadia National Park is an hour away.

Both Bangor and Bar Harbor are an hour’s drive, while Augusta is two hours away and Portland is three hours away.

Indoors: A long driveway leads to this home’s front covered front porch and entrance.

Inside is a foyer with wide-plank floors, and from there a staircase rises to the second story. Off one side of the foyer is the living room, where a nonfunctioning fireplace is finished with a wood mantel. Off the other side is a den with porch-facing windows and direct access to the home’s full bathroom.

Behind the den is a dining room with a brass chandelier. The dining and living rooms have access to the kitchen, where the countertops are Carrara marble and the backsplash is made of Moroccan zellige tile. Appliances include an AGA range and a Bosch dishwasher, and the kitchen has space for a second dining area. A pantry off the kitchen has floral wallpaper and a mudroom with multiple closets leads to the back patio.

Sleeping quarters are upstairs, the primary bedroom is off the top of the steps. A wood beam runs across its ceiling and a copper soaking tub sits in one corner. A half bathroom is next door and across the hall are two more bedrooms, both large enough for queen-size beds. At the end of the hall is a smaller room with wood paneling painted white.
