OCEANFRONT, HISTORIC, PRIVATE LAND, BARN WITH LOFT, BOAT HOUSE ''Moore House' Built by Joseph Moore in 1827. This oceanfront property is situated on the south side of Sutton, looking out across the Gilley Thorofare, to views of Great and Little Cranberry Islands. Sutton Island is one mile south of Mount Desert Island and east of Southwest Harbor. The house is setback from the ocean, on 6.6 acres of private land with 750 feet of oceanfront. This property is a rare find in Maine. The lot is populated with pines, lush foliage, sweet fern, beach roses, sea grasses, bay berry, blueberries and perennials making the grounds fragrant and maintenance free. The Moore House harmoniously blends historic architecture with modern renovations. The beautifully preserved mantels, and wainscoting, from the 1800's, complement the three newly repointed operating fireplaces in the dining room, master bedroom and great room. A Jotul woodstove warms the recently renovated kitchen. Original wide-wood plank floors and multi-pane windows throughout add to the home's distinct qualities. Out of respect for the historic character of the house, windows were added for northern views and interior light, while preserving the houses 1800's character. There is a first-floor primary bedroom and half bath. A slatted outdoor shower is located on the north side of the house. Two light filled bedrooms, on the second floor, feature plentiful windows, closet space, built in cabinetry, bookshelves, and full bath, with clawfoot soaking tub. Outside, a large cedar-shingled barn provides additional storage or entertainment space with a renovated large upper loft. Upgrades include handmade wrought iron banisters and railings, fashioned by local artist Steve Alsup, and new windows. The current owner, an artist/builder, lovingly restored, updated and enjoyed the property for over 26 years. The Moore House is more than a home; it's a serene refuge entwined with nature.
''If once you have slept on an island You'll never be quite the same'' wrote the poet Rachel Field. Take the year-round mail boat from Northeast Harbor and find out for yourself. The house was built c.1872 for Colonel William Hadlock who was elected to the Maine legislature twice and served during the Civil War with the 28th Maine Infantry Regiment. Its yellow exterior and commanding presence make it a landmark on Main Street. Conveniently located close to the harbor for the year-round mail boat (or your own boat) and for the enjoyment of the entire island. The main house consists of 9-bedrooms and 2.5-bathrooms on three floors. Enter through the covered front porch on the side into a mud room to the eat-in kitchen with wood floors and cabinets. Note the high ceilings. Follow through to the dining room with crown molding and wide wood floors. A half bath is on this level. Enjoy the den which has attractive half wainscoting. The living room offers partial views of the water over the harbor, a front opening wood stove, and the double front door with vestibule. The second floor has an attractive landing, a bathroom with tub & shower. Three bedrooms on this floor, one of which has an exterior porch with harbor views (morning coffee, watch the gulls as the boats come in). The third floor offers another five bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a full basement plus the addition, which accommodates the laundry, workshop, storage and many options. During the 50+ years of the current ownership, Colonel's has been continually restored, offering a timeless feel but with the addition of modern necessities of 21st century living. The integrity of this year-round, move-in ready island home remains. More photos coming.
