Description
Stand on the upper deck at dusk and watch the Lubec Channel turn silver. The Sparkplug lighthouse marks the water. Campobello sits just beyond the international line. This is not a postcard view you drive to--it is the view from home. Built in 1892, this classic Four Square once served the neighborhood as a general store, with the owner's rooms above. That dual life still shows in the generous main floor: a grand front entry, rooms meant for gathering, and the easy hospitality of a place that has always welcomed people in. Today the bones remain historic. The living is current. Nearly three acres slope gently to a sandy beach and 168 feet of ocean frontage on the Lubec Channel--Quoddy Narrows. At the water's edge sits a restored fishing cottage, a small retreat with a big job: children's camp, guest hideaway, studio, or the spot where the clambake fire is lit and the picnic tables stay out until the tide turns. Few Downeast properties give you both a substantial historic house and a true beach cottage of your own. Recent work leans into the water. A sun-filled three-season room looks straight down the channel. A side patio opens the house to the lawn. An upper deck takes in the lighthouse, the Narrows, and Canada. Inside: a renovated kitchen, a high-efficiency wood stove for long coastal winters, and a second-floor bath finished in marble--soaking tub, walk-in shower, the kind of room that makes you linger after a day on the shore. This is a year-round coastal house if you want it, a generational retreat if you need it, and a rare slice of Lubec's working-waterfront past either way. History in the walls. Sand at the bottom of the lawn. Light on the water every evening.
