A perfect New England get-away retreat in one of America's top up and coming artist communities and historic fishing villages.

This federal style home, built in 1819, is in move-in condition—a perfect blend of modern updates and traditional details. With views of Passamaquoddy bay, home to a working fishing community and the world's second largest whirlpool, this property would make a perfect summer home or year round residence.

The property is situated close to town for easy walking to all the local attractions and is joined on one side by the town's library lawn. It's located on a quiet, tree lined street and has its own paved driveway.

The house has 4 levels, including a basement, and a walk up attic.

First floor rooms include a carpeted living room (15'x15') with a fireplace, a sunny parlor (15'x15') with hardwood floors, a recently redecorated kitchen (15'x15') with a large pantry, a formal dining room with bay window and a dish closet, and a half bathroom.

After ascending the grand curved entry staircase to the second floor, you'll find 4 bedrooms, each with a fireplace (some of which are functional) and a full bath. The two larger bedrooms are 15'x15' and carpeted, while the two smaller rooms are about 11'x14' and have painted wide board floors. There's also a convenient linen closet around the corner from the full bath.

The house is heated with oil and a hot water furnace, and a new roof was put on the house in 2001.

Truly beautiful in the summer, this home has a deck off of a summer kitchen that connects the house to an enclosed back yard with established, well cared for, 90% perennial gardens.

Eastport is located in the far eastern portion of coastal Maine and is an island connected to the mainland by causeway.

This home is being offered for sale through Spinnaker Realty in Eastport, ME.
