This is a "Village House in Eastport, Maine. Granted, a prominent position and big enough for two mailing addresses, 5 entrances and 6 bedrooms. We sit on a high spot and keep an eye on the bay and Campobello Island (yes we see FDR's cottage).Eight huge over-sized windows face out over the street from a double parlor with facing fireplaces at 35 feet. Interesting doors, all wood trims, curved plaster corners, etc. were saved during the recent restoration. The first floor has a large foyer with alabaster sconces and chandelier. A grand staircase leads one upstairs. Modern electricals and dimmers are everywhere. Click "Setup" Tab above for more info.

This is a "Village House” in Eastport, Maine. Granted, a prominent position and big enough for two mailing addresses, 5 entrances and 6 bedrooms. We sit on a high spot and keep an eye on the bay and Campobello Island (yes we see FDR's cottage).

Interesting doors, all wood trims, curved plaster corners, etc. were saved during the recent restoration. The first floor has a large foyer with alabaster sconces and chandelier. A grand staircase leads one upstairs. Modern electricals and dimmers are everywhere.

The wing that runs west has a dining room with huge windows, a half bath, a butler's pantry, and a large, informal kitchen with high sink, a large work table, a commercial gas range. Pantries, storage, laundry and shelves a plenty.

Upstairs in the main section are two identical bedrooms, one with working fireplace and old brick exposed chimney, nursing room, and bath. The other with Yotul woodburner. Continuing into the west wing is a study/library, a full bath, two more modest bedrooms, and a back stairway into the kitchen

The house was erected ca. 1841. In the early 1900's a townhouse style addition was built which earns income with an open plan first floor and two bedrooms and full bath upstairs. This could remain as an income generator, or be incorporated into the house very easily, or be converted to studio or work space.

The warmth of the house begins with a fine, new boiler system which supports 5 zones of radiators. All systems of heat, electricity, water, all windows (Pella double wood) and the roof and all brick fireplaces have been restored or replaced.

Plenty of parking for owners and guests. Fenced kitchen deck gardens. Vegetable gardens. Cordwood stack area for 6 cords.

The Town of Eastport has an important story to tell. The fine arts arrived early, drawn by the spectacular sea and forest vistas were painters, musicians and writers in the 1920's and still showing up. Artists of all sorts establish studios and renovate gorgeous old structures and commercial mercantile space. So, the legacy continues: alive, vibrant, talented and energetic. We have so many fine gallery openings, performances, readings, shows and an "art house" cinema group.
