Property Description
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.
