coveted waterfront living
Coveted waterfront living: breathtaking, west-facing views of Casco Bay, Portland's city skyline, sandy beaches and gorgeous sunsets. Originally built in the late 19th century, this stunning cottage-style home features Victorian elements. It has a presence along a stretch of avenue that's known for its historic waterfront cottages. Expertly updated in 2010, evidence of quality and care abounds throughout the interior and exterior. This gracious year-round home is a delightful blend of restored yesteryear Island charm and well-placed modern upgrades and amenities. The comfortable, year-round property is ultra-functional with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 3 first floor living spaces. The desirable floorplan boasts a water-facing, light-filled, eat-in kitchen/ family room with breakfast bar. Views of the distant city skyline, boats and neighboring islands are a constant source of awe. The second family room/den is just off the kitchen and the formal living room has original beadboard walls, ceiling, and fireplace surround. Off the rear of the house, you will be captivated by the dynamic, panoramic water views (incredible sunsets), expansive, tiered decking, and stairs leading to a sandy/stony beach. Launch kayaks, hunt for sea glass, swim, or lose track of time with a good book and a beverage. The front porch faces the active avenue; a great perch for people-watching or socializing with neighbors and passers-by. The level side yard has a handsome patio and custom landscaping by Gnome -- a wonderful spot for a garden party. With its village setting, you'll enjoy the nearby amenities-library, gym, grocery store, bakery, sandwich shop, galleries. Located just around the bend from the Ferry Landing, commuting to the mainland is a breeze. Enjoy a 15-minute ride across the harbor and arrive on Portland's peninsula. Once on the mainland, you will have access to a wonderful array of shopping, award-winning eateries, arts and entertainment.
