Known as the Captain John H. McLarren House and built circa 1830, this charming historic home is a proud highlight of the Eastport Walking Tour. Located on Washington Street, it warmly welcomes visitors to the island community. A rare pre-Civil War gem, the home features a blend of Georgian Colonial, Greek Revival, and classic country farmhouse architecture, offering timeless character with versatile potential. Whether you're looking to create a cozy year-round residence or envision a charming bed & breakfast, this home is ready for its next chapter. Ideally situated just a half-minute walk to Water Street's vibrant shops, galleries, and restaurants—and only a block from the medical center—it's perfectly positioned for both personal living and business opportunity. Set on a quarter-acre lot, the home boasts 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and double parlors separated by elegant wooden doors. The dining room includes a pass-through to an adjoining space—perhaps once the setting for lively debates on seafaring adventures or politics of the day. A connected barn, professionally underpinned with deep concrete footings about ten years ago, offers exciting potential for conversion into an attached carriage house—perfect for your vintage car, daily driver, or garden tools. Enjoy morning coffee or afternoon gatherings on the back deck. Additional updates include a newer roof, carefully updated electrical system, and artful faux finishes on select doors and in the downstairs hallway, where simulated Italian marble in a diamond pattern adds a touch of elegance. The lot stretches from Washington Street through to Sullivan Street. Consider adding a new driveway from Sullivan to expand your parking options. Shown by appointment.
