Envision a classic example of an in-town Bar Harbor home and 12 Bowles Avenue comes to mind. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath property sits on a peaceful, dead-end street that is just a few blocks away from the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, made up of unique restaurants, shops, and entertainment. The location is a short distance to Conners Emerson Elementary School, College of the Atlantic and Mount Desert Island Hospital, too. It also allows for a quick connection to Acadia National Park, Jackson Laboratory and the seasonal Island Explorer bus. The interior of the home needs a fresh start but the spacious lot opens up expansion possibilities for its next owner. With up to 75 percent lot coverage based on downtown residential code, that includes the potential for an accessory dwelling unit or even a duplex. Bring your vision to 12 Bowles Avenue and all it can offer.
