1910 Eegonos Summer Cottage in Bar Harbor, Maine (PHOTOS)

   

 

Designed by Boston architect Guy Lowell and built in 1910, this 15,000 square foot summer residence is one of the few remaining turn of the century Gilded Age mansions to survive the devastating wild fire of 1947. Known as Eegonos, as well as East of Eden, architectural details abound throughout, with Ionic columns framing patterned marble, Douglas fir and oak parquet floors, arched ceilings, orate niches and intricate fireplaces throughout the formal living, dining and game rooms. Great attention to detail has been given in preserving the many architectural details, including an original pastel mural depicting the nearby lush scenery. This primary floor was designed for entertaining on both a lavish or intimate scale, with a huge expansive brick deck and covered porch overlooking the many islands of scenic Frenchman Bay. There are 7 primary ensuite bedrooms, all with fireplaces and attractive water or scenic views.

The central wide hall and landing are decorated in a hand painted Chinese wallpaper, depicting a serene woodland setting of butterflies and birds in a colourful garden. The third floor offers eleven smaller bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large, walk-in linen closet and several storage rooms. A two-person passenger elevator services all three residential floors, as well as the basement. A neighbouring parcel known as Buonriposo, was recently added, bringing the total acreage to 9 acres, and waterfront on Frenchman Bay to 1,100-feet. The scenic lawns and water elements also overlook Frenchman Bay, with its many conserved glacial islands and mountains. A decorative fountain and natural pond present calming, peaceful, intimate sitting areas on the grounds that enhance the overall setting. While Eegonos has been fully modernized, its architectural heritage was carefully preserved. Additional amenities at this prestigious estate include an eight-car garage, maintenance building, deep water dock and full property generator. Eegonos was last on the market for $5.75 million with Story Litchfield of LandVest. The historic estate originally listed in 2017 for $15.5 million and was reduced to $12.5 million in 2019. It’s not currently for sale.
