101 Flyway was designed and built by the award-winning team of architect G.M. Wallace, Jr., of Island Architects, and builder Steve Brenner, owner of Solaris Inc.

From an exterior of double hand-dipped red cedar shake siding, Vermont slate and copper roof, comprehensive copper gutter system and underground drainage system, Italian stone pool deck and handmade ironwork to an interior that includes imported French oak hardwood flooring throughout, white stone countertops and baths, and exquisite intricately designed woodwork and cabinets, 101 Flyway is the pinnacle of quality.

Bar Harbor is a magical place where ocean cliffs and rocky beaches, glacier-formed lakes and valleys, mountain vistas and lush green forests capture the imagination.
