Victorian Riverfront Retreat

Property Description

Stately and welcoming, this Victorian-farmhouse sits on a generous 0.63-acre lot with direct frontage on the St. Croix River—a rare combination of intown convenience and quiet waterfront living. Once operated as the well-reviewed “Calais Crossing River House” bed-and-breakfast, the home offers strong flexibility: continue as a small lodging venture, create a spacious single-family residence, or blend both uses. The layout is practical for daily living. A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide convenience, while three additional bedrooms and another full bath are located upstairs. The home retains its period character with built-ins and traditional trim, balanced by an easy-working, eat-in kitchen with pantry and access to the back deck. A laundry area with sink sits on the main level. Outdoors, the property opens to a level, landscaped yard leading down to private river frontage—ideal for kayaking, fishing, or simply taking in the calm of the water. The deck offers a pleasant spot for morning coffee or warm-weather meals. Despite the peaceful setting, the location is convenient to most things: shops, services, and community amenities are just up the street. With its combination of space, historic style, and direct water access, this property stands out as a strong value in the Calais market and an appealing option for anyone looking for a home or business opportunity along the St. Croix.
