9 Bedroom House in North Haven
Meeting House Beach House is a classic Shingle-Style estate sitting on 11 acres of Pulpit Harbor, famed amongst sea dogs as a deep-water Hurricane Harbor on North Haven's northwest coast. Built atop the original Meeting House Beach House from the 1830s (when island residents would row across to the property's beach to attend services, gather in the Meeting House, and then promenade to the island's oldest church structure, located above the property on Crabtree Point Road), today's house was designed and built by acclaimed American architect Henry Daland Chandler in the 1920s. Credited with creating Maine's paired down Shingle Style, Chandler designed several of the neighboring islands' great homes, including The Wharf House on the National Register of Historic Places. This classic Maine "cottage" is the perfect escape for friends and families to gather in prime coastal Maine, an hour's ferry ride from Rockland. With 10,000 square feet, the house's first floor features an expansive living room (with fireplace), formal dining room (with fireplace), "smoking room" (with fireplace), harborside sitting porch, beachside eating porch, bar, kitchen, pantries, laundryroom and bathroom. The second floor has four bedrooms, five bathrooms (one en suite) and a media room/office. The third floor has four additional bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house has been recently updated to include all modern conveniences while preserving the classic touches of this 1920s beauty. The extensive property includes a clay tennis court, cedar hottub and firepit, landscaped gardens, a breakfast patio, a cutting/vegetable garden, a deep-water dock for boats, a beach outfitted with kayaks and paddleboards, and woodlands.
