This beautiful turn-key coastal home is an extraordinary opportunity for anyone seeking a year-round oceanfront home or a seasonal getaway. When you sit on the deck of this classic Maine coastal cottage, the first thing that strikes you is the breathtaking view. It is vast, wide, and deeply inspiring. And when you catch your breath from that, the peace and quiet begin to settle in. You notice the subtle sounds: water slapping against the rocks, birds softly calling from the trees, and perhaps the snort of a whale or the distant engine of a fishing boat lifting lobster traps in the morning. A cool ocean breeze awakens your senses and reminds you of the gift of this remarkable body of water. It is not only beautiful and abundant, but it also acts as nature's air conditioner in summer and helps warm the coast in winter. Each morning brings a new backdrop, with colors ranging from fiery reds and oranges to soft, delicate pastels. No two days are ever the same. Most rooms in this 3BR 2 bath 1902 sf extensively updated home have beautiful sea views. The sunroom provides an expansive 180-degree ocean view, while the deck invites you to relax in the ocean breeze. And yet, just a three-minute walk away is downtown Eastport, filled with restaurants, pubs, and a working waterfront of lobster and scallop fishermen. Add the Tides Institute, with its extensive art collection and international artist residencies, the Eastport Art Center providing various performing arts for the community, and numerous galleries that support the many talented local artists and all of these elements create a vibrant, inspiring coastal community. Eastport has an intriguing energy and a true sense of community; stay a week, and people may know you by name. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of Eastport's coastal paradise.
