About this home
Situated on coveted Yellow Birch Road in the village of Whiting, this passive solar home was built and designed by the current owner, a master carpenter and craftsman, and has been a cherished family home for decades. Set on 3.7 surveyed acres and built with 2X8 lumber, the home provides above average insulation, below average energy costs, peaceful surroundings and sustainable lifestyle potential. The attached 8-cord capacity woodshed has a pass-through into the interior for efficient, clean access. A spacious warm sunny glassed-in porch with a brick floor collects heat from the sun making additional heating minimally necessary in spring and fall. Other rooms include a large mud room with a large closet, a large capacity dryer, a bench and coat pegs; a spacious pantry with a large capacity washer; a full-size kitchen with a wood cookstove; a first-floor full bath; a dining area; and a large living room with a woodstove and heat pump. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a half bath provide plenty of space for family and guests. The basement includes a root cellar, two finished rooms (344 sf) and storage. Outside, the expansive grounds are framed by hardwoods including sugar maples, conifers and apple trees, a broad lawn, a large fire pit, and a swing set. The detached, two-story partially insulated garage is built with attic trusses providing an additional 392 SF (14' x 28') of space. Finally, a storage shed (24' x 16') provides ample room for tools, equipment and gear. Meander up a well-maintained town gravel road to this special gem. A solid home, well built and well insulated, generous acreage, and expansive living space make this a rare opportunity in a beautiful and peaceful corner of Downeast Maine. Whiting is conveniently located along Route 1, approximately 23 minutes from Machias and 14 minutes from Lubec, the Easternmost point in the United States, renowned for bold coastal hiking trails, kayak launches, and access to Campobello Island in New Brunswick Canada....
