17 Patrick StreetSt. Andrews by-the-Sea

The Home

Wake up to the tide coming in across the bay.

Patrick Street runs along the water at the quiet end of St. Andrews, and number 17 sits right on it. From the kitchen island you look straight out over Passamaquoddy Bay. From the primary suite balcony you can see the Pendlebury Lighthouse a few doors down. When the tide goes out, the beach below the seawall becomes your own stretch of red sand to walk.

The house was built to handle real Maritime weather without giving up any of the light. Insulated concrete form construction, a heat pump with an air exchanger, and a Generac backup generator mean the power stays on and the rooms stay comfortable in January. Inside, it reads as a home rather than a showpiece: an open living, dining and kitchen wing with a propane fireplace and custom cabinetry, a sunroom that opens onto a 25-foot patio and the salt water hot tub, and a main-floor bedroom with its own ensuite for guests or single-level living.

Upstairs, the primary suite runs the full width of the house, with a five-piece ensuite, a walk-in closet and that balcony over the water. A second bedroom and full bath share the floor, and over the garage there is a family room and sitting room big enough to be whatever the next owner needs: a media room, a studio, a bunk room for the grandchildren.
