1728 Port Rd Machiasport, ME 04655

Overlooking the deep waters of Starboard Cove, this renovated cottage blends classic charm with modern comfort. The property includes private shoreline ownership extending to the low-water mark, giving you direct access to the tidal edge. Ocean views and the sound of waves are a constant backdrop, framed by large living room windows and a south-facing screened porch. Inside, the kitchen flows into a dining area, and a cozy family room with a wood stove offers a welcoming spot on cool mornings. The main floor also includes a full bath with laundry. Upstairs, two bedrooms were opened into a larger primary, with a half bath added; with minimal effort, it could easily be two bedrooms again. Updates under current ownership include roofing, thermopane windows, rock maple flooring, cedar shingles, added insulation, select appliances, a well pump, and a hot water heater, along with the screened porch addition. An attached two-car garage offers ample storage. The setting is rich in history, from the nearby Starboard Schoolhouse to sites of early Revolutionary War battles. The sheltered cove, once home to busy boatyards, remains ideal for mooring boats. Outdoor adventures abound, with parks, preserves, and coastal towns like Eastport, Lubec, Roque Bluffs, Bar Harbor, and St. Andrews all within reach. Whether you're seeking a weekend escape or a year-round home, this cottage offers a front-row seat to all that makes Downeast Maine magical.
