Step into the charm and history of coastal Maine with this stunning, revitalized Victorian masterpiece, perched on 200' of rugged shoreline overlooking Johnsons Bay. Built in 1897, this elegant home has been lovingly restored to preserve its period character while offering modern comforts and breathtaking, unobstructed water views stretching across Lubec, Campobello Island, Rogers Island, and beyond.
Inside, the first floor welcomes you with a sun-drenched sitting room wrapped in windows frames sweeping coastal views. An island with seating and a built-in stove offers the perfect spot to take in the views while you cook, complemented by an updated kitchen with a large window that enhances the coastal scenery. A formal dining room, complete with original pocket doors, opens into a spacious living room filled with period charm. A full bathroom with laundry completes the first floor, combining functionality with timeless elegance.
Up the graceful staircase, you'll find a cozy sitting area, a generous primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a second full bath. The unfinished 734' sq third floor offers abundant storage or potential to create additional living space tailored to your vision.
Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with perennial gardens, a mature apple tree, a lush lawn, and a meandering path to the shore, this property also includes a charming outbuilding for added storage. From your backyard, launch a kayak to explore the nearby islands, or simply sit back and enjoy the sights of eagles, seals, and spectacular sunrises - Lubec being the easternmost town in the continental U.S.
Featured in The Great Gold Swindle of Lubec, Maine (by Carrie C. Bangs and edited by Ronald Pesha), the home carries local lore - whispers of a hidden closet where gold was once concealed add to the mystique.
With its legendary past, this coastal treasure is more than a home - it's a living piece Maine's history waiting for its next chapter.
