Step back in time with this charming historic 1840's Cape nestled in the heart of downtown Lubec. Once the office of the well-known Doctor Bennett - who famously tended to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's family during their summers on Campobello Island - this 2+ bedroom, 1.5 bath home is rich with local lore and period details. The first floor welcomes you into a cozy kitchen with a non-working fireplace that adds character. The dining room features a built-in china cabinet, a spacious living room, a small den - formerly Dr. Bennett's exam room - offers a unique touch of history. Completing the main level is a full bathroom, formerly the doctor's office and still houses the original office safe. Upstairs, you'll find an open loft area perfectly utilized for additional sleeping quarters, two well-appointed bedrooms, and a half bath. Throughout the home, the original charm shines through with tin ceilings, plaster walls, wide moldings, and classic radiators. Enjoy peek-a-boo views of the ocean from many rooms and take advantage of the unbeatable location - just a short stroll to restaurants, the library, shops, the public boat ramp, and Lubec's scenic shoreline. Watch the 4th of July parade pass by your front steps or join the festivities at the nearby Masonic Hall's famous summer BBQ. Set on a small, manageable lot with a sunny back deck perfect for afternoon picnics or simply soaking in the salty breeze, this home is being sold fully furnished - offering an opportunity steeped in charm, character, and coastal history.
