Unique opportunity with a unique property. Just steps from the heart of the village, this 1850-built traditional Monhegan house sits above it all with sweeping views up to Monhegan Lighthouse, across the village over to Manana, the harbor, and even the Camden Hills across the water. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, the home sits on a full acre of level, clear land -- unusual in the village area -- so much space to spread out upon, and work with. Wide-plank floors, tin ceilings, and original moldings, nooks and crannies, period features -- all waiting for exploration and sprucing up. The house oozes with period features and the sensibilities of old time, year-round island living. A wood-burning cookstove in the kitchen, and even an original hand pump for water in case the power goes out! Features artist studio first floor with stunning panoramic views over the village, shore, and Manana. May have well been the studio of painter Samuel Triscott, a former owner of the home from 1893-1925. There is a a large (312 sq ft) covered front porch providing a window on the world of Monhegan, The property is a famous hotspot for birdwatchers who gather on the island every year. Extra buildings - a tool shed, chicken coop. The property is just a short stroll to the brewery, coffee shop, and the Burnt Head trails. Island living is calling.
