Welcome to East of Eden! Late 19th and Early 20th Century Revival, Mediterranean Second Renaissance Revival Style, with Beaux-Arts overtones, just lovely in every respect!

Designed by noted architect Guy Lowell, FAIA (1870-1927). Among his major architectural works are Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, Museum School of Art, Emerson Hall, Lowell Lecture Hall and the President’s Residence at Harvard, and several buildings at Brown University, including the Carrie Clock Tower.

Built in 1907-1909, Substantial brick masonry walls, exterior finish in concrete stucco. Roof and all 10 chimneys rebuilt in 2006. Chimneys all finished with lead-coated copper tops. Roof tiles used were sound original plus new tiles made to match by the original manufacturer, Ludowici-Celadon, still in business today and had the original specs from 1907!

8-bay garage awaits your collection of vehicles or boats; this sturdy multi-purpose masonry building was constructed in 2008 with full open space (no pillars) in harmonious style to the main house.

Entering the stunning vaulted entry vestibule, one gazes out straight ahead to Frenchman Bay, the polished marble floor reflecting the water view through arched French doors leading to the waterside terrace and lawn is just breathtaking.

Front Hallway; just beyond the clock is a hallway passage that leads to the bar room and hallway to the kitchen

Beautiful detail seen in the front hallway

Beautiful detail between the music room and old billiard room.

The North Wing; the hallway steps up to this beautiful library with hand painted mural, and leads into the splendid dining room

The South Wings starts with a traditional Receiving Room and flows into this glorious Music Room with quarter sawn white oak flooring, soaring 14’ ceiling, a huge wood-burning fireplace, and overlooking the Bay

Doors to the left and to the right of the fireplace lead to the covered South Porch with wind break for relaxed outdoor dining or relaxing.

Ascending the grand stairway just off the entry hall to the 2nd floor landing, one is greeted by hand painted Chinese wallpaper portraying birds, butterflies and flowers. The open landing area has room for a grand piano; hallways lead north and south to the bedchambers.

Bedrooms all feature gas fireplaces with beautiful marble or brick surrounds and hearths, and updated tiled private bathrooms. Waterside bedroom windows feature decorative iron balconies overlooking the Bay

Sunrise, good morning East of Eden! Views across the Bay: Hancock Point and Sorrento to the north, across to Gouldsboro, the Porcupine Islands and even – on a clear day – Schoodic!
