78 Dublin St, Machias, ME 04654

Historic Machias, Maine, the "Castle" on the hill by UMM. The sellers have the past history of this home back to it being owned by the University (at the time, Washington State Normal School, the teachers college). It was then owned by the lighthouse keeper from Libby Island Light, and then onto the current family who has owned it since 1950. Sitting on 3 acres next to UMM this is one of the larger in-town residential lots, and its stately location high on the hill is in the center of the community with easy access to all the town amenities. First floor offers a large bright kitchen, and some storage going into the basement access, a dining room with more storage, front entry with the stairway, and the living room is on the end with the turret and a beautiful tile fireplace with carved oak mantel. The fireplace is not functional at this time due to the chimney having only one flu, but what a wonderful spot to put in a propane one! Upstairs you have 3 nice sized bedrooms, the largest being the "tower room." The walk-up attic has another optional bedroom and space to finish off another. Outside the grounds would lend themselves to some wonderful garden spots, and nice areas for flower gardens outlining the paved drive and parking area. There are a few apple trees and a 2-car garage.
