Description
This is a birders' paradise with bird watching right from the comfort of your own living room. Eagles soar, ducks quack by, otters and beavers frolic, and swallows perform acrobatics. The house features a grand living room with windows overlooking Mill Pond and the Orange River, a roomy kitchen with a comfortable dining room, office, sun porch, deck and a renovated full bath on the first floor. The second floor has three bedrooms and a renovated 2nd full bath. The basement has lots of storage including cold food storage, a terrific workbench area, water-facing windows, and walkout access.There is an updated garage (20' x 20') w/ a new roof, updated electric, and an automatic door with an additional second outbuilding (22' x 16.5') closer to the road used currently for storage and lawn equipment which could be used for a workshop or perhaps a storefront. It was the old Whiting Store back in its' day. The grounds are well landscaped including 4 raised garden beds, apple trees and blueberry bushes on the front lawn. The sunsets are spectacular over the water and you can look across the fields to neighbors' horses and cows, too. Whiting is centrally located for ease of commute along Route 1. The property is 10 minutes to the easternmost town of Lubec, a delightful oceanfront village and gateway to Campobello Island & Roosevelt International Park, fantastic public hiking trails, area lakes, rivers, and ocean boat launches, and the university town of Machias is a 15-minute commute for groceries, eateries, and gourmet cheese shopping!
