Westbridge

Westbridge, one of Bar Harbor’s venerable shingle cottages, has been loved by one family for generations. Built in 1887 on 1.48± waterfront acres, the residence was beautifully constructed with many architecturally decorative cottage features by talented craftsmen of the era.

The year-round residence offers a stately front entrance, protected by a port cochere, and welcoming foyer with sweeping main stairway and warming fireplace, one of eight in the residence. A formal library, living room, dining room, kitchen and large sun room are all on the first floor, as is a small in-law apartment. There are 9 bedrooms and seven- and one-half bathrooms. The property has been beautifully and lovingly maintained over the years in the classic traditional style that becomes it. Outside, a detached two car garage includes a year-round apartment. Extensive gardens, with both annual and perennial plantings, surround the home, as does a meadow with fruit bearing trees, providing privacy, color and beautiful surroundings. Views from the property are of the harbor, Frenchman Bay and Bar Island. While feeling private, secluded and barely visible from the street, Westbridge is a block from the vibrant village of Bar Harbor, with its many engaging shops and restaurants.
