About 153 Main St

Built in 1865, this timeless New Englander pairs historic charm with smart modern updates - all on 60 feet of sandy beachfront with the opportunity to moor your boat right off your own property in the deep, sheltered waters of Moosabec Reach. Inside, the first floor offers a sitting area, eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, cozy living room, and a full bath - ideal for coastal gatherings or peaceful mornings. Upstairs, find two spacious bedrooms and another full bath. The large sunroom spanning the front of the home brings the outside in, while the attached oversized one-car garage with a loft above provides excellent storage or future living space potential. Major upgrades include a brand-new high-efficiency propane furnace with updated baseboards, all-new wiring throughout, a new roof, cedar shingles, 200-amp electrical service with 220V exterior hookup (ideal for an RV or smart car), improved plumbing and insulation, fresh paint, and both newly drywalled and lovingly restored original plaster walls. Outside, the expansive level yard offers plenty of room to park an RV, boat, or additional vehicles, with space to entertain or simply enjoy the sea breeze. A previous permit to expand adds even more potential for customization. Whether you're dreaming of a primary home, seasonal escape, investment property, or Airbnb, this property is full of opportunity. Located in the heart of Jonesport, with front-row seats to the famed lobster boat races and just steps from the bustling working waterfront, this coastal gem puts you close to scenic walks, fresh seafood, and natural beauty - including Great Wass Island Preserve. A rare chance to own a piece of authentic Downeast Maine living - with all the modern comforts already in place.
