Little Machias is an intimate coastal community that echoes the quiet history of generations who have made their homes along the protected waters of this secluded Atlantic bay. Recently refreshed to feel like new, this impeccable home offers an abundance of thoughtful updates, attractive details, new appliances, a new roof, and more--creating a move-in-ready retreat designed for relaxed coastal living. Trek down to 150 feet of sandy beachfront, where you can take a brisk, salty swim, launch a kayak, or simply settle in and enjoy the ever-changing beauty of the Maine coast. Spend sunny afternoons on the oversized deck, listen for seals calling among the lapping waves, watch eagles ride the prevailing winds overhead, and linger beneath the stars in evenings. This home fits Maine to a T--a wonderful setting for reunions, entertaining, getaways, or year-round living. Thoughtfully designed, the 1st floor includes a well-appointed laundry room and versatile spaces, including the option for a 1st-floor bedroom. One wing offers its own entrance and is excellent potential for an accessory dwelling unit. Water views grace nearly every room. The spacious living room features a fireplace woodstove and flows naturally to the open dining room and kitchen with seated island. A full, well-lit basement provides abundant storage and opportunity for additional living space if desired. Outside is ample parking and an oversized detached two-bay garage with dedicated work area. There's a storage shed with power and the property's original "camp home," relocated to its current setting now an open workspace, offers flexibility as additional storage, a studio, or creative space. Adding to the property's unique Maine character, the original "duplex" outhouse remains intact and now serves as 2 charming storage sheds. Rarely does a property combine this--with sandy beach, abundant wildlife, sweeping water views, and the quiet rhythm of one of Maine's truly special coastal communities.
