Cozy Beachfront Cottage in Historic Starboard Village $545,000

Bay Home For Sale

Overlooking the deep waters of Starboard Cove, this charmingly renovated cottage boasts ocean vistas and private shoreline access. Great care has been taken to infuse this snug abode with a seaside ambiance. Enjoy the sights and sounds of waves rolling into the cove throughout the year, visible from the living room's expansive windows or the screened-in porch to the south. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged, complemented by an adjoining dining area. The family room, warmed by a wood stove, offers a classic way to take the edge off the chill of a cool morning. The main level also includes a full bathroom with laundry, while upstairs, two bedrooms were combined to create a larger primary bedroom and a half bath was added. With minimal effort it could be two bedrooms again. Views of the ocean greet you at every turn, constant reminders of your beautiful surroundings. Installed or updated during current ownership were roofing, thermopane windows, rock maple flooring, cedar shingles, select appliances, well pump, added insulation, hot water heater, and the screened in porch. The attached two-car garage provides ample space for vehicles and storage. The locale is steeped in history large and small, from the nearby Starboard Schoolhouse to the location of some of the first battles of the Revolutionary War. The sheltered cove, once home to bustling boatyards, remains an ideal spot for mooring boats. For outdoor enthusiasts, the area is a treasure trove of activities on and off the water. Nearby destinations like Eastport, Lubec, Roque Bluffs, Bar Harbor, St Andrews, and an extensive list of parks and nature preserves offer endless opportunities for exploration. Whatever the season, this cottage can be your gateway to all that makes Downeast Maine a magical place.
