Bar Harbor Shoreline - Historic Homes

Betty Bryer of The Swan Agency Sotheby's International Realty has listed The Breezes on West Street in Bar Harbor.  In perusing the fantastic results of the first photo shoot with Mike Perlman, we came across this photo taken from the front lawn of The Breezes.

Looking to the left, (this photo) one has a great view of the front of four historic Bar Harbor homes, Reverie, Anchorhold, Greencourt and Bagatelle.  If you were to look to the right you would see the Bar - going out to Bar Island - hopefully not at high tide with an unknowing tourist's car submerged...
