The Bridge to Home 21 Barney Cove Rd, Beals $159,000 | 0.3 acres T urn off Route 182 in West Jonesport and strike out across the bridge that connects Beals Island to the mainland. With your tires singing along the asphalt and sunlight glancing on the water, keep your eyes on the approaching shoreline. Halfway across, you’ll glimpse the little cream Cape situated just to the right of the bridge. You’re home. The two-bed, two-bath cottage at 21 Barney Cove Road is perched on .3 acres of shoreline, gazing back at West Jone- sport. The stunning view is framed to the right by the bridge–perfect for any- one who craves island life but wants a quick connection to reality for only $159,000. “The interior was completely remodeled in 2005, including improvements to the roof,” says broker Billy Milliken. “It’s a very well-appointed cottage.” Polished oak floorboards and a bright kitchen complete with inviting breakfast bar makes 21 Bar- ney Cove a freshly primed canvas to cre- ate your dream vacation or family home. The house is a year-round property and won’t feel shuttered up and forgotten like so many vacation villages thanks to the working dock that borders the west side of the property. “The dock is owned by a local fisherman,” says Milliken. “You can see all his lobster traps stacked up from your window. During the afternoon, you can watch the boat return with the day’s catch.” Maybe you’ll even get friend- ly and strike up a shore-to-door deal on fresh lobsters. Think of the possibilities.
