The Colonel's
;void(null))
'If once you have slept on an island, you'll never be quite the same' wrote the poet Rachel Field. Take the year-round mail boat from Northeast Harbor and find out for yourself.
The house was built c.1872 for Colonel William Hadlock who was elected to the Maine legislature twice and served during the Civil War with the 28th Maine Infantry Regiment. Its yellow exterior and commanding presence make it a landmark on Main Street. Conveniently located close to the harbor for the year-round mail boat (or your own boat) and for the enjoyment of the entire island.
The main house consists of 8-bedrooms and 2.5-bathrooms on three floors. Enter through the covered front porch on the side into a mud room to the eat-in kitchen with wood floors and cabinets. Note the high ceilings. Follow through to the dining room with crown molding and wide wood floors. A half bath is on this level.
Enjoy the den which has attractive half wainscoting. The living room offers partial views of the water over the harbor, a front opening wood stove, and the double front door with vestibule.
The second floor has an attractive landing, a bathroom with tub & shower. Four bedrooms on this floor, one of which has an exterior porch with harbor views (morning coffee, watch the gulls as the boats come in).
The third floor offers another four bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a full basement plus the addition, which accommodates the laundry, workshop, storage and many options.
During the 50+ years of the current ownership, Colonel's has been continually restored, offering a timeless feel but with the addition of modern necessities of 21st century living. The integrity of this year-round, move-in ready, island home remains and is eager to welcome a new owner that enjoys sharing the charms of this beautiful Island.
