First Ray Studio - a waterview hilltop domain
Sitting atop the tallest hill in Eastport, close to the historical site of Fort Sullivan, the second floor of this nineteenth century house may catch the first rays of the Eastern sunrise in this nation. An old family homestead, it has seen 8 children sliding down its banister at one time. Now it sits gutted and with a new roof, waiting to become a new homestead, studio or workshop.
The site is the prize though, at the end of a short street backed up to woods and the old cemetery, it is anchored by protruding ledge rock & holds open spaces for a new house on its half acre. From its second floor & loft, it looks out on Campobello Island. Apple, maple & larch trees accompany its peaceful sense of privacy. Yet, it is a short walk to the working waterfront downtown, groceries and healthcare, & has ample parking.
Currently, the first floor has a long room & a small room & front hall stairs. The second floor is completely open with a new 4x10 beam ceiling supporting a loft space. It lacks its front porch & the whole house needs rehab & is being sold as-is. Many construction materials can be included with the sale including lumber, insulation, & 14'' wide pine flooring from a local mill for the full second floor, to some clear cedar & cement siding, a vintage enamel cast iron kitchen stove & large wood stove, modern casement windows, PEX plumbing, & a furnace. Of course, these can be sold separately, & the new owner will build from their own vision for the lot. Part of the unseen benefits of this lot are the town services, the closeness to a vibrant artistic community, & quick access to Canada. The smell & presence of the surrounding sea gives Eastport residents its memorable aura. The project house is not ready to move into tomorrow, but any new owner renovating this site will be delighted in 1, 5, or 20 years that they found such a setting.
