On a peaceful corner lot a block from the water, this historic old white house has water views of Passamaquoddy Bay to Campobello Island & the Roosevelt estate. Built in the 1840's by Captain Benjamin B. Shackford & passed on to the Wadsworth family who started "the nation's oldest chandlery" & hardware store in town. Later a commanding octagonal turret was built & in the 80's a separate 700 sq. ft in-law apartment was added. Occupy the fully furnished apt or use as a rental. The partially gutted frame w/new double pane windows & mostly painted exterior is ready for your own renovation at half the cost of buying a refurbished house. Be prepared to replace electrical, plumbing, insulation & interior walls to your standards. Two sunrooms, w/radiant floor pipe installed, face south over a large yard w/mature oak & maple trees & garage. Imagine yourself on the front porch in the 1950's or even the 1850's, in the company of towering red beech trees planted during the war of 1812.
