Property Description
Welcome to a truly special property tucked away on a quiet street in the beloved coastal town of Friendship, Maine—a place that lives up to its name. Just a short stroll to the boat launch, public beach, and the legendary Jameson Point Lobster, this home offers a rare mix of natural beauty, historic charm, and a close-knit community untouched by heavy tourism.
The home itself is warm, efficient, and filled with thoughtful spaces. The upstairs bedroom features skylights that let heat rise and escape in the summer, along with windows on either side for a perfect cross breeze. Hidden upstairs are three attic spaces, each with its own personality. One—tucked behind the bedroom closet—served as a herb-drying loft, naturally warm, dark, and dry, just as traditional herbalists have used for centuries.
Speaking of herbs, the gardens are a living apothecary. Carefully cultivated perennial medicinal plants were established by the current owner, an herbalist, with care and intention. Along the side yard and into the neighboring meadow (current owner has permission from neighbors) you'll find wild native roses blooming among milkweed and morning glories, creating a pollinator's paradise and a nod to nature's quiet abundance.
There's also a basement woodshop, ample storage, and two decks for relaxing among the apple trees or stargazing in peace.
Friendship is a town where neighbors still look out for each other—and where stories are shared at the Friendship Schoolhouse Museum just around the corner. With the market close by and the salty breeze never far, this is a place to root, create, and thrive.
