**Here's your chance!** This 2-bedroom cottage (with up to 4 sleeping areas!) is the kind of place that makes it easy to unplug without giving up the comforts of home. The scene changes constantly—tides, fog, sunshine, storms, sunsets—and you won't get bored looking out the window.
The main floor is open, comfortable, and filled with natural light, with living and dining areas flowing together and sliding glass doors leading to the newer Trex wrap-around deck. Coffee? Deck. Dinner? Deck. Watching a storm roll in? Definitely deck. The kitchen has tile floors and backsplash, abundant storage, granite countertops and working appliances. The freshly painted main-floor bath feels spacious and the laundry nook is right on the main floor.
Upstairs, the open loft has two separate sleeping areas and a half bath, plus a handy closet off the landing. Five windows and two oversized skylights keep the upstairs bright while maintaining that cozy loft feel under the wood ceiling.
Downstairs, the finished walk-out basement offers another sleeping area—or two, depending on how you use it—plus a utility room with shelving and storage and two additional storage areas that could easily serve as a walk-in closet and organized storage room. The covered porch leads to a graveled equipment area for the mower and outdoor gear, then into the spacious fenced yard.
And the yard? Established rose bushes line one side, while the hillside toward the marsh/pond fills with lupines and wildflowers. Butterflies drift through, fireflies show up after dark, and frogs and birds provide the soundtrack. No nature app required.
This is a four-season home - if you want it to be. There's a forced-hot-air furnace, two propane stoves, and heat pumps on every floor. The heat pumps can run on a schedule and have been professionally maintained. A Generac on-demand generator is there (also professionally maintained), and a Drop water alert system coupled with filtration system adds another layer of protection. Cameras and motion sensors are already in place.
Outside, the home has pastel sage-green vinyl shake siding, a brown metal roof, Trex decking with white railings, a paved driveway, and stone patio. The patio has been expanded for easy entry through the new wide gate into the fenced front yard. Permanent outdoor lighting has been installed around the home, so you'll be ready when the town decorating contests roll around—and you'll have plenty of flexibility to change the look for holidays, gatherings, or just because you can.
The septic system has new risers and caps for easier access and maintenance. The well is conveniently marked and has been reliable during our ownership.
You're less than 10 minutes from downtown Lubec and Mowry Beach and about two miles from West Quoddy Head State Park. Beaches, trails, preserves, rocky coastline, and all the wonderful, beautiful charm of Downeast Maine are right outside your door.
