34 Court Street, Machias, ME 04654

So much history has happened during the lifespan of this stylish, period cape built in 1775, constructed the same year of the Battle of the Margaretta, the first sea fight of the American Revolutionary War.  Elevated views span straight-up the Machias River from the entertaining, private, back-deck and are a colorful joy as one may take-in the sun and moon rise over the eastern ridge and watch them slowly settle on the western ridge.  Placed in the heart of Machias, it is a short stroll, or roll, to the riverfront's rails-to-trails, shopping, commerce, and eateries.  Housed inside, the original character and construction is an homage to living with the generations who have called this warm cape home.  Modern conveniences are designed to coexist with the setting.  The original fireplaces and central chimney are a marvel to see so preserved.  This two-bedroom, two-bath home is a ready showcase to gather with family and friends. The upper-level is ideal as a primary suite with a private bath, and the first-floor bedroom is perfect for guests with the second bathroom/laundry room. The added detached two-car garage has a bright, backside room, dubbed the 'solarium' and is a wonderful three-season option to view the attractive lawn and for meeting with guests to share a yarn or two. A home for a simple and elegant life awaits you here.
