One of Grindstone Neck's original cottages, Harbor Hill was designed by Wilson Eyre, a prominent Philadelphia architect, and built in 1890; to this day it remains an iconic example of the classic shingle cottages designed for this incredible community. Initially described as a 'small but elegant summer community', Grindstone Neck is located on a small peninsula of land near to The Schoodic and Winter Harbor section of Acadia National Park. The Grindstone Neck association offers a golf course, yacht club, swim club and tennis courts, and woodland paths along the scenic oceanfront overlooking Frenchman Bay and the mountains of Mount Desert. Harbor Hill offers elegant cottage-style living and dining rooms, with large granite fireplaces, dark raised paneling of Cyprus wood, coffered beamed ceilings, cushioned window seats, and interior columns. A beautiful sunroom with harbor views, and beadboard walls and ceiling, provides a cozy spot to rest or read. Once run as a small inn, the home's kitchen provided meals for the guests, with dining in the large dining room, and a bright sunroom. With its seven bedrooms (several with the original beadboard and Cypress paneling with coffered ceiling, and granite or brick fireplaces), six-and-a-half bathrooms with original marble sinks and clawfoot tubs, Harbor Hill is a perfect setting for an extensive family or for the entertainment of guests. A Porte cochere complements the front entrance, and a large, wrap-around deck provides an outside entertainment area. Two second floor sundecks provide mountain and harbor views.
