About This Home

Brimming with charm and character, this meticulously maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approx. 2,308+/- sq ft of living space on 9.74+/- acres of rolling fields with beautiful views of Johnsons Bay. Built in 1955 and rumored to be the work of a skilled shipbuilder, the home reflects quality craftsmanship and timeless design throughout. Enter through the enclosed sunroom into a warm and inviting foyer. The spacious living room features gleaming hardwood floors, built-ins, and a cozy pellet stove fireplace, with large picture windows that capture the surrounding landscape. The dining room flows into a bright kitchen with Corian and granite countertops, while French doors lead to a back deck - perfect for enjoying sunsets and coastal breezes. A secondary entry off the kitchen includes a mudroom, laundry area, and full bath for added convenience, along with a comfortable first-floor bedroom. Upstairs offers three additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a charming loft space ideal for a reading nook, office, or extra sleeping area. The full basement provides ample utility space with mechanicals, a workshop, a brick fireplace, and a former hot tub ready for future use or reimagining. Outside, the property continues to impress with an attached two-car garage and four additional outbuildings, including a classic barn with a new roof. An enclosed pool structure offers potential for restoration or conversion to a greenhouse. With road frontage on both County Road and North Lubec Road, the property lends itself to a variety of uses including residential, homestead, or small-scale mixed-use possibilities. Located just 1.5+/- miles from downtown Lubec, you'll enjoy easy access to local shops, restaurants, the working waterfront, and the easternmost coastline in the U.S.
