History, tranquility, one-level living and location, location, location. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape with an attached garage is a gem that you do not want to miss! In the 1760s, near a falls on the East Machias River, several mills were established, including the 'Industry' mill run by Pope & Co. From the living room, first floor bedroom, and sunporch of this four-season cottage one looks out at those very falls, arched by the graceful Pope Bridge with the soothing sound of the river as your constant companion. The cottage, painted blue, is tucked along the river under a canopy of maple and oak with a row of fragrant peonies off to the side of it. One of the 3 bedrooms is on the first floor. One of the 2 baths is unfinished. The house has a rear deck with a fenced yard for your pets. It's a birder's dream in the spring when the alewives run upstream to spawn and eagles and osprey are busy feeding for a month or so. It is quite a show to witness! On either side of this cape, just a few feet from the property is a small public park on the river's edge and a smokehouse educational center in the opposite direction, assuring enduring tranquility. Across the bridge is the Downeast Sunrise Trail, an 87-mile off-road trail on the East Coast Greenway open to bicycles, walking, horses, cross country skiing, ATVs, and snowmobiles.
