Camden House Rental

Harden Hill House

In the fall of 2001 we purchased a wonderful two bedroom home in the village, at 17 Harden Avenue. We have rented it in the summer since 2002 and we have also had renters in it for three winters. In October we began a renovation project to turn it into a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house.  We hope to have it ready for rental again in the Spring of 2010.

Harden Avenue Looking Toward Mt. Battie

The house is located in an area of private homes in a neighborhood that is ideal for walking. You are just a few minutes’ walk to the downtown shops, restaurants and of course the windjammer dock for Surprise. As you stroll downtown, you can stop at the award winning Camden Public Library, which was doubled in size a few years ago.

When the renovations are completed there will be a huge kitchen with all new cabinets and appliances, a large living room and entertaining space which runs the full length of the house, a new bedroom and bath on the first floor.   On the second floor there will be a large master bedroom as well as a smaller bedroom and a full bath.  Off the kitchen on the first floor we have built an 8 foot by 16 foot deck which will be ideal for casual meals and entertainment. There is a clothes washer and dryer in the cellar.

Besides being convenient to the village, Harden Hill House is also just a few minutes walk to the Mt. Battie hiking trail. In fact, as soon as you begin to walk up Harden Avenue you can look out over Penobscot Bay and the islands, giving you a hint of the breathtaking vista that awaits you on the mountain. Camden Hills State Park has over 5000 acres, with miles of hiking trails. You can also drive to the summit of Mt. Battie and enjoy the view before you return to Harden Hill House.

Take your time. Listen to the birds. This is, after all, a vacation!
