Built between 1900 and 1904, this property has the historic claim of being constructed for Grace Weymouth, Thomas A. Edison's niece! With northwesterly views overlooking Lobster Cove, this home has served as both an artist's retreat and a family getaway and is being sold furnished with all the necessary items to move right in. The layout includes two bedrooms and one full bathroom, along with a foyer and sitting room on the first level. The second floor is open and filled with sunlight, featuring the kitchen, a living room with a wood stove, a half bath, and an office, as well as a large deck offering water views. Additionally, there is a charming outbuilding that has functioned as both a guest sleeping cottage with a Murphy bed and a studio. Monhegan is renowned for its artistic community, scenic trails, and breathtaking vistas, making this a rare opportunity to own a piece of island history. High-speed internet is available on the street, and a solar power system with a battery bank and inverter currently supplies electricity to the property.
