About This Home

53 Washington Street

Introducing Salty Paws, a delightful mid-1800s coastal cottage where classic New England character meets thoughtful modern updates. This established rental offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms and is perfectly situated in the heart of Lubec. Renovated extensively since 2021 down to the studs, this post-and-beam cottage features exposed beams and an open-concept layout that feels both cozy and inviting. Careful updates include new electrical and plumbing systems, spray foam insulation, new walls and ceilings, a new heating system, new windows and siding, a new roof, new doors, structural support columns, improved drainage, landscaping, two brand-new decks, and more. Radiant in-floor heating adds comfort to the kitchen and first-floor bathroom, and plumbing is already in place for a future outdoor shower - perfect after a day by the sea. Throughout the renovation, the owner took special care to preserve and refresh original details, allowing the home's historic charm to shine while offering the comforts of today. Located just steps from town amenities, this inviting cottage is within walking distance to the Lubec Memorial Library, local shops, restaurants, bank, Lubec Brewing Company, and the Mowry Beach Boardwalk. Explore miles of scenic shoreline and hiking trails nearby or take an easy trip across the Franklin D. Roosevelt Bridge to Campobello Island. Whether you're seeking a charming coastal getaway, a full-time residence, or a continued income-producing rental, Salty Paws offers a welcoming place to slow down, settle in, and enjoy life Downeast.
