Turn-Key Eastport Gem on Horn Point!
This original waterman’s cottage was built in 1930 and fully renovated in 2005 with a large addition built onto the back of the original cottage. The cottage (the front portion of the house) has its original windows, hurricane shutters and wood floors. The rear addition is designed with a locking pocket door between it and the original cottage, so the front of the home can be rented as desired while still providing the owners with living space in the rear. The house features a first-floor laundry in the rear portion and a second laundry on the second floor of the front portion. In 2017 the third floor was renovated to add a full bath, shiplap walls and three built-in sleeping berths. Wood flooring and a barn door in the master bedroom were also added in 2017. In 2021 the front of the house and kitchen were remodeled to make better use of space, increase working area, and give a better overall flow. This included a GE Café Dual fuel range with 6 burners, additional cabinetry, a built in Bosch refrigerator, built in microwave and trash receptacle, honed soapstone countertops and custom floor to ceiling tile backsplash.
The home features hidden storage cubbies beneath both staircases, in the half bath on the 1st floor, and in attic space behind the closets in the master bedroom and 3rd floor bedroom. There is also an attic in the front portion of the house.
The surprisingly large, fully fenced backyard includes abundant outdoor living space with a detached screened porch with electricity surrounded by built-in planters. A stone patio and fire pit create a peaceful outdoor living space for relaxing, dining and entertaining. There are two 8x10 storage sheds in the rear of the yard, creating additional privacy and extra storage.
The home’s location on Third Street is in the heart of Eastport, positioned within easy walking distance of restaurants and marinas, yet far enough that ample street parking is available. All but two houses on this block of Third Street have driveways so street parking is nearly always available.
Act quickly, this fabulous home is in a primo location.
