About this home

In the late 1700's Icabod Higgins came up from Cape Cod and chose a sunny hillside in the Indian Point settlement of Bar Harbor to locate his farm, building his barn in 1811 and followed by his house in the 1830's. Today, that barn and home still stand, and after loving renovations to the original Cape, are offered for sale to the discriminating buyer. The home features 4 bedrooms, country kitchen with pantry, large entryway, wide pine floors, warm hearth in living room, sunny deck, all in pristine condition.
