Description from the listing:

Ravenscleft is a Peabody & Stearns Shingled Cottage built on Cooksey Drive in Seal Harbor in 1901. Ravenscleft is the first house to be built on Cooksey Drive, now home to some of the most illustrious homes in Maine. Sailors named and used Ravenscleft as a landmark knowing that when they came to the cleft in the cliff where there was a raven's nest - they were on track. The home has been completely restored and renovated with a whimsical nod to the original design. The dramatic site is one of the most captivating and desired on Mount Desert Island and the Coast of Maine. Substantial, spectacular estates dot the oceanfront of Cooksey Drive. The well worn pink granite cliffs that the house is perched on command some of the most compelling views of the ocean possible, from working fishermen to competitive and recreational sailors; from Bunker's Ledge markings to navigational markings the vista is ever changing. Sunrise, far off in the distance, sometimes presents cruise ships waiting for pilot assistance to enter Bar Harbor. Ravenscleft presents that rare opportunity to become stewards of a historic home in a spectacular location, it is the only home available for sale with this illustrious address. In addition to the main house there is a charming guest house with one bedroom and a two car garage.
