Location, location, location! Westerly sunsets await you overlooking Johnson Bay from this charming New Englander. It is just a shell, a gem in the making, but it has immense potential to make it your own. There ain't much left in Lubec, especially downtown Lubec at this pricetag. So hurry! This house has been stripped to its studs. Building materials ready and waiting inside the house include siding, doors, and windows. The house has public sewer and water for a tidy year-round property OR a terrific centrally located rental. Lubec is the easternmost point in the USA and the gateway to Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada on Passamquoddy Bay, home to THE highest tides in the world. The property is only 15 minutes to many wonderful oceanfront hiking trails and kayak launches. Minutes walk to downtown where there is a public saltwater boat launch, a lively farmers' market, fun eateries, a coffee shop, and a local brewery.
An outstanding opportunity for the do-it-yourselfer, or amateur carpenter--a true ''fixer-upper. '' This house has been almost totally stripped inside, and is just waiting for a craftsman to put the pieces back together. And have you priced building materials lately?? This house has virtually a full complement of doors and windows waiting to be installed, and enough siding to cover the entire house. A challenge--yes, but well worth the effort. Come and complete this project your way, and enjoy the water view and the in-town living.
