Welcome to 49 Summit Road in the village of Northeast Harbor. This classic American Foursquare, built in 1930, retains many beautiful original features, has had thoughtful improvements throughout the years, and provides an excellent layout. Simply, it just feels like home. Set back a bit from the road in a sweet neighborhood, it is a stones throw to the heart of town, public ocean access at the dock and boat launch, Acadia National Park, Northeast Harbor Golf Club, Library, and the Fleet. With hardwood floors throughout, original built ins, ice box and pantry, the excellent craftsmanship of this early 20th century home is obvious. Poured concrete foundation is in excellent condition, the home feels true and plumb. With bathrooms updated, roofing shingles replaced, durable siding installed, and hot water baseboard boiler replaced mostly in the past 10 years, a new owner's attention can focus on making the property their own without an extensive to-do list. Quarter acre lot gives enough room for a garage to be built on existing pad while still having generous yard space. The classic layout is enhanced on the first floor with two bonus spaces: a sunroom, an additional office or first floor bedroom, half bath, and mudroom/pantry. The home benefits from beautiful southern exposure making the space light and bright year round.
