Westover in Northeast Harbor

Beds: 5 Kings, 2 Queens, 1 Double, 6 Singles

Designed in 1902 by renowned Philadelphia architect William Price, this gracious property typifies the summer cottage of yesteryear. Set on 6 acres, the house is approached by a wide driveway from a private, dead end road affording maximum privacy. Yet, this property offers the added convenience of being within easy reach of Northeast Harbor’s village center via the road or the hiking trails that meander around Schoolhouse Ledge. Views from the large covered porch, which encompasses much of the cottage, are amongst the finest on the island. The cozy rooms and large kitchen make Westover comfortable for all.
