A Lifestyle Like No Other in Coastal Canada
St. Andrews is a quaint, coastal town with a vibrant arts scene, charming boutiques, golf courses, gourmet dining, and a breathtaking waterfront that’s ideal for sailing, kayaking, and whale watching. It’s where history, nature, and community meet—and it’s one of Canada’s best-kept secrets for second-home buyers and expats from the United States.
Situated less than 30 minutes from Calais, Maine, the town offers the rare ability to live in one country while enjoying the best perks of both.
US Cross-Border Perks for American Buyers
Buying property in Canada has become increasingly attractive for American residents—and St. Andrews is uniquely positioned for cross-border convenience. Here’s how:
-
Shop Across the Line: Need access to your favourite U.S. brands, groceries, or Amazon delivery hubs? Simply pop across to Calais, Maine for shopping and parcel pickup.
-
Healthcare Access: Many Americans maintain their U.S. medical coverage while spending part of the year here. With the border just a short drive away, you’re never far from U.S.-based healthcare services.
-
Mail Forwarding & Residency Workarounds: While non-residents can typically only stay in Canada for 6 months per year, 44 Queen offers a smart solution: two separate living spaces. Rent one unit to a trusted local who can watch your home while you’re away—a dream scenario for seasonal residents.
The Home: Flexible, Functional, Full of Character
44 Queen Street is more than just a home—it’s a multi-functional property with two separate living units, ideal for:
-
Rental income (short-term or long-term)
-
Hosting guests or extended family
-
House hacking for new buyers wanting help with the mortgage
-
Lock-and-leave living with a caretaker tenant when you’re away
Each unit is beautifully updated, offering cozy charm with modern amenities. The main residence features a newly renovated, bright kitchen, while the secondary unit offers privacy and potential income.
Plus, it’s just steps from Water Street, where cafes, art galleries, festivals, and the sea are your new neighbors.
Perfect for City Escapees, Snowbirds, and Remote Workers
Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the porch, breathing in salty ocean air while your colleagues are stuck in traffic back in Boston or Toronto. That’s the St. Andrews difference.
Whether you’re coming from New York, Montreal, Chicago, or Atlanta—44 Queen Street is a straight shot to sanity. It’s the perfect summer home, remote-work base, or retreat property. Reliable high-speed internet and walkable downtown amenities make it as functional as it is beautiful.
An Investment That Pays for Itself
Dual-income properties like this are rare in such a prime location. With rising tourism and interest in small-town living, St. Andrews rental demand is strong year-round. Use one unit for yourself and generate passive income with the other.
And with share sale possibilities and favourable Canadian real estate pricing compared to many U.S. markets, this could be your opportunity to own something truly special—without breaking the bank.
