Stately, gracious and casually elegant, Cove End resounds with style. Located in a quiet Northeast Harbor village neighborhood, Cove End provides a convenient location central to all the clubs, the Fleet, and village shops. The property includes 3.3± acres and 469' shorefront on Gilpatrick Cove. The traditional architecture of this classic residence complements the many seaside shingle cottages found nearby. Built in the 1930's, Cove End was designed for entertaining on both a grand or intimate scale and has hosted many a well-known guest or famous statesman. Upon entering the grand, welcoming foyer, views of the ocean beyond entice one to a broad, sunny, granite terrace. The elegant living room with coffered ceiling has built-in cupboards for family artifacts or books, a fireplace with detailed mantelpiece and French doors that lead to the terrace, private gardens, and pool. A formal dining room with fireplace offers room for a few, or many, at dinner. The quiet library lined with shelves nearby overlooks the garden, terrace and Gilpatrick Cove. The residence offers five family bedrooms and a large playroom in the main house, with a staff wing offering four additional rooms, useful as smaller bedrooms, a quiet office or bonus spaces located over the two-car attached garage. Tall specimen trees frame the residence, providing quiet and privacy, as well as enhancing the natural setting. A large cutting and kitchen garden provides an intimate area apart from the house, as does the separate heated pool with covered seating shelter. Cove End has been lovingly cared for by one family for many years and is now ready to start a new chapter.
