Turnkey and recently renovated. This handsome Victorian house built in the 1840s by Captain Benjamin B. Shackford is ready for you to move to Eastport on the cool breezy Moose Island of Passamaquoddy Bay. There is a commanding octagonal turret with peek-a-boo views of Passamaquoddy Bay on the partially finished third floor with a game, map and tv room. The house was recently renovated with a new roof, new double pane windows, painted exterior, new hot-water on-demand system, new floors, renovated bathrooms, and more. The house features libraries on each floor, a billiard room, a renovated kitchen with new appliances and a dining room, reading nooks, 3.5 baths, three bedrooms in main house including a master bedroom with ensuite full bath and a separate 2nd floor area with an additional living room, and a shared full bath. There is a 700 sq. ft. in-law apartment added in the 1980s on the west side of the house with an exterior entrance. It is connected to the main house via the laundry room and rear mudroom overlooking the patio. An elegant stairwell graces the front of the home and there is a second stairwell off the kitchen to the second floor. There are two electric fireplaces, one in the billiard room and one in the master bedroom. The back yard is shaded under handsome oak and maple trees. The house was home to some of the first settlers in the area. This property was owned by the Wadsworth family who started the nation's oldest chandlery which still operates as the local hardware store downtown on Water Street. Eastport is the easternmost city in the United States located on Moose Island overlooking Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada. The city offers an arts center, many galleries, shops, eateries, a brewery, and a fine wine shop. There is a newly rebuilt public pier with public salt water boat access.
