For those who already know the quiet delight of Lubec, this will come as no surprise. For those yet to discover this charming town at the easternmost edge of the United States — you're in for something special! Set along Carrying Place Cove, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home, with additional studio apartment, offers sweeping views across the Atlantic waters to Quoddy Head and Canada's Grand Manan Island. With over 3,500 square feet of living space, the home is designed to make the most of its setting — a private stretch of beach (yes, beach!), direct trail access to West Quoddy Head State Park, and unmatched coastal sunrises. A full wraparound deck brings the outdoors in, with multiple access points from the main living areas. Upstairs, a second-story bedroom has its own private oceanview deck, and the third floor offers a bonus crow's nest room with a half bath — perfect as a quiet office, creative nook, or guest retreat. Inside, you'll find updated baths, hardwood floors, generous gathering spaces, and the kind of natural light you can only get from this kind of window coverage. A fireplace anchors the main living room, where ocean views take center stage. The sun-bleached look of the pickled pine interior rivals the best of all beach house feelings. Need extra space or flexibility? The separate apartment over the garage offers income potential, guest accommodations, or a private work-from-home setup. This deck overlooks not only the ocean but has beautiful sunset views, too! Makes a fantastic rental for larger gatherings. Recent updates include a new roof and refreshed bathroom fixtures and flooring. But what makes this home truly rare is its combination of setting and lifestyle: quiet, coastal, and connected to some of the most beautiful shoreline in Maine.
