About this property

Downtown Hilltop Cottage - Breathtaking View

Affectionately referred to as 'Tip Top House', this private downtown rusticator cottage is perched amongst the trees on top of a ledge overlooking the Fox Islands Thorofare. This unique summer home was designed and constructed in the late 1800s by a well-acclaimed architect and later retrofitted for modern living. The spacious property is amongst the largest lots downtown and adorned with original stone walkways, brick terraces, flower beds, and more! Tip Top House offers an abundance of privacy, charm, and breathtaking views, at less than a five-minute walk to downtown amenities!

This cottage comfortably sleeps up to nine guests with three queen and two twin beds located on the second floor. A large, bright, eat-in kitchen extends next to a formal dining room and sizable living room. Two and three-quarter baths include a clawfoot tub for soaking. The large veranda and sun deck have ample seating for taking in the view. Full laundry, high-speed Wifi, TV, and grill. Extensive library, and plenty of puzzles and games.

Downtown amenities within walking distance include:

- Nebo Lodge restaurant and bar
- Calderwood Hall restaurant, market, and bakery

- Gift shops
- Art galleries
- Public Library

North Haven Island is located ten miles off the coast of Rockland, Maine. The town is both a year-round island community and a prominent summer colony. The Maine State Ferry service operates a scenic one hour and ten-minute trip to the island three-times daily.

Had a great time. The house has a ton of charm with a gorgeous view of the Fox Island Thoroughfare. Great location as well; steps to town, ferry and docks. Highly recommended.

Magnificent Views and comfortable accomodations
We vacationed with our entire immediate family. The stunning views from the large porch, where we spent many happy hours, were breathtaking. The house itself is extremely interesting full of unique curios reflecting world travels and local, nautical themes. The books, some of them very old, were fascinating yet it did not feel like a museum but a home. We were very comfortable, the kitchen and laundry were more than adequate and the bed rooms comfortable. We vacation on North Haven every year and the Tip Top house gave us a whole new, wonderful experience. We hope to return some day.

The view!
We had a great time in the tip-top house. Great proximity to the town. Clean, comfortable, and well stocked in terms of linens, kitchen supplies, etc. and the view is simply un-beatable!
