Property Description
This youthful contemporary New England home is a gem. It offers a living room and kitchen combination with gorgeous light and water views of Johnson's Bay. The home has multiple levels and a handsome wraparound deck to enjoy the salty air, birds, and the bay. Every day you will enjoy sunrises and sunsets. The house offers a cozy and warm spacious, south-facing sunroom newly added in 2020. The craftsmanship of this addition is undeniable. One of the owners, a skilled builder, harvested wood from old barns and buildings and lovingly recycled and upcycled many areas of this home. The staircases are sturdy and made from well-worn wood so everywhere you place your hand is soft to the touch. The sunroom is trimmed with hearty old barn boards. Wooden pegs from an old barn, before they used nails, offer a landing for your jackets. A desk nook overlooking Johnson Bay from the eastern-facing window provides a place to craft, write, and daydream. And there's a bonus: a handy, hidden half bath with a utility sink and a toilet. Even the toilet paper holder is a mechanic's delight made out of an old hardwood handle. You just flip it up to change the roll. Brilliant! The main bedroom opens up onto the long lawn to the bay and all of the closets and laundry area have weathered barn wood and are trimmed with handsome hardware. There is a loft off the living room for a second elevated bedroom. The full bath is on its' own ½ level between the kitchen/living room and main bedroom. There are cement pads with stone hearts to tickle your toes to welcome you at the back door. The property offers gorgeous perennials including a giant rhubarb plant, fragrant lilacs and apple trees plus a garden on the front lawn with an ocean view. There are a few outbuildings, one for gardening tools and the other as a shop and to store equipment. Lubec has a lively seasonal farmers' market, incredible hiking trails, lovely downtown, and a public boat launch. It is also the gateway to Campobello Island.
