Property Description

Set on a grassy knoll overlooking the shore, this spectacular 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath, year-round* home makes the most of its exceptional setting. Tucked away from the beaten path, amid a loose braid of gravel lanes, the distinctive home extends a warm welcome with a mature apple tree, blooming hydrangeas and perennials, a lush green lawn, a row of Adirondack chairs, a patio that serves equally well for entertaining or parking, and a wide stone walkway. Years of care and daily enjoyment are evident throughout. The newly reconstructed wraparound porch anchors the home, expanding the living space and providing the perfect setting to grill, dine, relax, entertain, and enjoy salt air and water views. Inside, the comfortable floor plan is rich with character. Soaring 9½-foot ceilings, exposed beams and rafters, shiplap walls, a stained-glass window, tasteful fixtures, and classic cottage details create an inviting interior that blends timeless charm with everyday livability. The kitchen reflects a commitment to preserving the home's vintage appeal without sacrificing functionality. The adjoining dining area is ideal for family meals and game nights, while the nearby living room, warmed by a gas stove, enjoys picturesque water views. A newly added half bath is a welcome convenience. Upstairs, four intentionally rustic-chic bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and exposed framing evoke a sense of nostalgia. An exceptional custom-designed porch room is filled with natural light throughout the day and offers delightful water views--an idyllic retreat for reading, relaxing, or simply soaking in the surroundings. Additional features include an irrigation system, efficient Rinnai heaters, custom closet organization, built-ins, an outdoor shower, structural reinforcement, and a walk-in/walk-out basement. This is where memories are waiting to be made. Walk to the nearby shore or bustling village. From there, a short ferry ride delivers you to Portland's celebrated Old Port.
