This period home has been lovingly renovated maintaining the charm of an old house but offers all the modern conveniences of today's homes. It's situated on a quiet street but is close enough to the downtown area to walk. There are some water views from the house looking across the bay to Campobello Island. This home features a master bedroom on the first floor if you prefer living all on one floor or use one of the three bedrooms on the second floor. Sometimes called the last frontier, Eastport is in a remote area of Maine, a place to get away from it all. Its pristine beauty and bold coast have attracted many artists creating a thriving arts community. The historic waterfront downtown was once the home of the sardine canning industry. Though still a port, old buildings have given way to shops, eateries, art galleries, and antique stores. One of the last working waterfronts, Eastport’s fishermen drag for sea urchin and scallops and trap lobsters. Eastport is on Moose Island which is easily accessible by car over a causeway passing through Sipayak, the Passamaquoddy tribal reservation. The main island is approximately three square miles, which makes walking a favorite past-time. Make sure to find your way to the rocky coastline to search for tide-washed beach glass or just stroll down the streets and see examples of architecture dating to the 18th century. Visit the Barracks Museum, which houses artifacts of local interest, and the Quoddy Maritime Museum that has a soon-to-be working model of the Dam Project Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s administration proposed. Pack a picnic lunch and take the ferry to Deer Island, New Brunswick, Canada and watch the whales swim by. The historic schooner, Sylvina W. Beal, embarks daily from the Breakwater for whale watch and sunset cruises or get out on the water is a sea kayak rented from one of the local outfitters. Hike one of the trails in Shackford Head State Park.
