Property Description
From a knoll facing the sunrise, this historic home overlooks the Machias and East Machias Rivers to the east and Machias Bay to the south. Meticulous care was taken by a well-known local renovator to refresh this classic 1830s Cape. A sunroom is flanked by covered porches that bear witness to the tide's daily ebb and flow and offer
three seasons plus to enjoy a breathtaking scene of bald eagles and seals. Intricate attention to detail is detected in features like
French moldings, picture rails, and built-in bookshelves. On the first floor, welcoming rooms open to one another in a circular
layout. The dining room bestows cheery warmth from a Jotul wood stove fireplace insert. The kitchen showcases a classic cast iron wood cook stove as well as a modern range and soft close cabinets. A walk-through pantry with lit china cabinet and hideaway fridge provide ample storage. A comfortable living room hosts a mounted
television and built-in entertainment cabinet. The front sitting room with its water view and generous bookshelves is a great place to
rest, play, or read. The second floor features a full complement of three bedrooms, an office, walk-in closet, and spacious bath with
clawfoot tub. Closets and built-ins are woven into each room, combining aesthetics and practicality. If you enjoy nooks and crannies, you will love this home! The current owner has maintained it with a careful eye to preserving its intrinsic nature and charm.
The attached utility room to the rear holds two stories of storage or work space. Organic gardens on the west side offer the chance to grow your own veggies and fruit. Nearby services and amenities--the local hospital, grocery shopping, university, and more--are less than ten minutes away. For work-at-home folks, broadband internet is readily
available. A public boat ramp with saltwater access is just a step down the street, and world-renowned Jasper Beach, the state park at Roque Bluffs, and the Sunrise Trail, are a short drive away
