Rarely, if ever, does a property become available on coveted Yellow Birch Road in the quaint village of Whiting. This handsome New Englander was built by the current owner, a skilled carpenter and craftsman, and has been a cherished family home for decades. Set on 3.7 surveyed acres, this property offers a wonderful blend of classic character, comfortable living space, and room to enjoy the outdoors. The home features a spacious mudroom with laundry, a full-size kitchen with an antique wood cookstove, a first-floor full bath, dining area, and a large living room with a woodstove and heat pump. An expanded, sunken sunroom provides exceptional year-round living space, filled with natural light and offering a peaceful connection to the surrounding land. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a half bath, providing plenty of space for family and guests. Outside, the expansive grounds are framed by mature hardwoods and apple trees, with a broad lawn, large fire pit, and swingset. A large detached garage (27' x 26') and additional oversized storage shed (22' x 15') provide ample room for vehicles, tools, equipment, and recreational gear. Wind your way down a town well-maintained gravel road to this special gem. Whiting is conveniently located along Route 1, approximately 20 minutes from Machias and 20 minutes from Lubec, the easternmost point in the United States, renowned for its bold coastal hiking trails, kayak launches, and access to Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada. A handsome home built with 2' x 8' wall studs, well insulated, generous acreage, and expansive living space make this a rare opportunity in a beautiful and peaceful corner of Downeast Maine.
