Property Description
In need of a new family, this beautiful 1940's craftsman style cape is well worth taking a look at! The house has hardwood floors throughout, lots of windows and built ins along with fireplaces complete with propane inserts in both the large living room and basement family rooms. On the first floor you will find a large mud room that connects the kitchen and garage. Dining room with built ins, large open foyer and the ''telephone landing'' on the stairway and a half bath near the back door off the kitchen. The living room is 12 x 26 with a nice propane fireplace insert in the original wood fireplace. Behind this is a large sunroom to enjoy or make into a first floor office or bedroom if needed. Upstairs more beautiful hardwood floors and a large landing begging for a little reading nook, the large master and 2 more bedrooms, one with a bonus room off from it. The basement has a couple finished rooms, one set up currently for a pool table and the other as a large family room with yet another propane fireplace in the original wood fireplace. This house is located ''just down the road'' from the hospital and schools, and is also very close to downtown Machias. The property has a nice yard and also has a 24 x 30 slab off to one side that was used as a ball court, but could be the start of a garage or car port.
Located in the town of Machias, the count seat for Washington County with a population of about 1331 people as per the 2022 census. The town is rich in local history for those of you who enjoy doing some research and visiting historic sights and learning more about it. The first battle of the American Revolution was fought here on 6.12.1775 and you can easily learn all about that from a visit to Burnham Tavern on Colonial way just down the road from this house.
The area's name is derived from the native Passamaquoddy language and means ''bad little falls''. The park over the falls is home to the summer Kitchen concerts that are open for the public to enjoy
