Property Description

An exceptional opportunity to own a highly visible commercial property in the heart of downtown Bar Harbor, one of Maine's most sought-after coastal destinations. Positioned on Cottage Street, this property offers tremendous pedestrian exposure during the busy summer and fall tourism seasons, when visitors fill downtown Bar Harbor in search of restaurants, shopping, entertainment and authentic Maine experiences. The building was completely remodeled approximately five years ago, providing a turnkey foundation for a new owner or operator. Improvements included all-new electrical wiring, plumbing, heating, alarm and sprinkler systems, offering modern infrastructure rarely found in older downtown Bar Harbor commercial buildings. The current commercial space offers tremendous flexibility for a variety of uses. Bring your vision to one of Bar Harbor's most active downtown locations. Potential concepts include a restaurant, bar, boutique clothing shop, Maine-made goods store, T-shirt and souvenir shop, specialty food market, outdoor recreation retailer, art gallery, wine or specialty provisions shop, or a unique coastal Maine concept that would complement Bar Harbor's tourism economy. And then there is the parking ? a truly rare commodity downtown. The property includes 4-5 dedicated off-street parking spaces behind the building, an enormous advantage during Bar Harbor's peak season. The possibilities extend beyond the commercial space. Two residential apartments occupy the floors above, providing additional income potential and making this an especially compelling mixed-use investment. First apartment features 3 bed/1 bath with views overlooking Cottage Street, while the second has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Whether a destination restaurant, lively bar, distinctive retail concept, mixed-use investment or a mixture of commercial and residential income, 14 Cottage Street offers the rare combination of location, visibility, parking and recently upgraded infrastructure.
