About This Home

As of November 2024

Sunsets throughout the winter months will be fantastic from this intown property perfectly situated at the quiet end of a street with a large western facing lawn. This handsome four-square home has a great room ready for an inhome theatre or media room, and an attached barn (28' x 20'). The house recently had several renovations including new insulation, new drywall, new windows, and updated electric and plumbing work. There are four bedrooms, one on the first floor and three on the second floor. There is a kitchen, living room and dining area and a full bath on first and second floors. Plus the property has been surveyed.
Calais is the gateway to lakes and streams to the north and west, the Maritime provinces of Canada to the east, and the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world to the south. There is a terrific public library, several eateries, grocery stores, and a delightful waterfront walkway along the St. Croix River, the boundary between the US and Canada. This property is easy walking distance to downtown, a big box store, the post office, and banks. Great location and a really good size lot for right intown.
