Nestled in the heart of a quiet, picturesque community, this home is a rare gem for those seeking timeless charm and enduring craftsmanship. This classic New England saltbox, built in 1973 by the Johnson brothers, stands as a testament to meticulous artistry and a love for tradition. Constructed with care and built to last, the home incorporates square-head nails sourced from antique shops, adding a touch of historic character to its foundation.
Step inside, and you'll be greeted by the warmth of wide pine floorboards and the rustic elegance of exposed hardwood beams, evoking a sense of connection to Maine's storied past. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the solid hardwood doors with their ornate latches to the thoughtfully crafted interior shutters on the windows, offering both beauty and function. One of the home's most distinctive features is the blue retro bathroom, complete with fixtures reminiscent of the 1950s. The oversized garage offers spaces for up to 4 cars or comfortably fits 2 cars with ample room for a workshop. This property is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. It is ideally located near the pristine waters of West Lake and Musquash Lake, providing ample opportunities for fishing, hunting, canoeing and kayaking. For hunting and fishing aficionados, the region offers an unparalleled bounty and access to Maine's rich wilderness.

Despite its serene setting, the home is conveniently situated within driving distance of grocery shopping in Lincoln or Calais, ensuring the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. This unique home is more than just a house—it's a legacy of craftsmanship and a haven for those who cherish nature and tradition.
