The Starr Cottage, Dark Harbor

One of Islesboro's most cherished and oft admired cottages is now offered for sale. This classic 1790's post-and-beam cape is idyllically nestled between glorious sunrise and sunset waterviews over Dark Harbor and Gilkey Harbor and the outer islands. In 1899, Dr. Louis Starr, a noted Philadephia pediatrician purchased the Susan Pendleton house and transformed it into a wonderful summer residence. This lovely five-bedroom home with its eclectic blend of Greek and Colonial Revival styles, dormered roof lines, clapboard siding, and splendid porches has over 4,000 crisply appointed and restored square feet of year-round living space.

The rambling interior features a formal twin "good morning" staiway, a large two-level living room overlooking Dark Harbor Pool with two fireplaces, a restored dining room and sitting area with built-in hutches, fir flooring and the original fireplace hearth and warming oven, a study with rugged hand-hewn beams with a half bath with restored marble and nickel-finish fixtures. The kitchen with its cathedral ceiling, exposed cross beams, and hearth area, has a tasteful wall of windows taking full advantage of the westerly harbor views. An adjoining butler's pantry and full laundry just upstairs serve to center domestic activity.

The master suite enjoys the morning sun and and has a fireplace and full bath with twin marble sinks, shower, and clawfoot tub and dressing room. The second floor includes four additional bedrooms with ample closet space and two full baths.

The house and boathouse are sited on 2.4 + - acres with 183 feet along the shore of Ames Cove. The large lawn is meticulously landscaped with perennial beds, interspersed with birch, maple, apple and pine and edged with cedar trees. Offered exclusively with Island Property.
