Nestled in the picturesque town of Eastport—often called "Coastal Maine's Best Kept Secret"—this property is surrounded by the quintessential beauty of the region. Despite its small size, Eastport offers all the infrastructure of a much larger city, including schools, restaurants, medical facilities, shops, and even Maine's oldest hardware store. The town's vibrant downtown is home to unique shops, delightful eateries, and the historic WaCo Diner, the oldest diner in Maine. Eastport is also a haven for artists, many of whom have found inspiration and a sense of community here, with programs like the Tides Institute's StudioWorks Artist-in-Residence attracting creative minds.
While Eastport has all the amenities of modern life, it retains the charm of a small fishing village where traditions have endured for generations. Fishing boats still depart early in the morning, and many residents continue to make their living just as their fathers and grandfathers did. The town offers a unique lifestyle, blending the conveniences of today with the timeless rhythms of coastal living. Outdoor enthusiasts will find themselves at home here, with numerous parks and preserves nearby, offering some of the best hiking and sightseeing opportunities in the state. Eastport’s lively community atmosphere is highlighted by a series of summer festivals, including the Salmon & Seafood Festival, the Pirate Festival, and a grand 4th of July celebration. This beautifully updated cottage offers the perfect blend of antique charm and modern comfort, making it an ideal choice for a year-round home, vacation retreat, or rental property in one of Maine’s most idyllic coastal communities.
