Overview

Description

Located on prestigious Grindstone Neck oval on a double lot comprising 1.36 acres, 127 West Oval was built in 1892, one of the original cottages in this quiet summer enclave. The superb shingle-style cottage, designed by Lindley Johnson, is rich with architectural detail, including curved rooflines, a multi-story turret, beadboard walls, coffered ceilings, and a sweeping, wrap around porch. In keeping with the shingle cottage tradition, native granite was used extensively in a decorative fashion in the foundation and the expansive porch with its broad stairway to the large lawn. The protected porch, large formal dining room, and open living room lend themselves to large parties or quiet evenings in front of a roaring fire. Lovingly maintained, the classic residence has ten bedrooms, several with fireplaces and stunning views of the islands of Frenchman Bay and Acadia's mountains. Several clubs and recreational opportunities are nearby, with a pool, golf, yachting and tennis, as well as the shore and trails of the Grindstone Neck Peninsula and Schoodic area of dramatic Acadia National Park. The venerable Grindstone Neck community was created in 1889 as a summer resort for the 'rusticators' to escape to by steamship from the cities. Many of the grand cottages have been preserved, and in many ways, it seems little has changed in this lovely summer community.
