This extraordinary home, perched on a knoll in a seaside neighborhood, captures the essence of Maine living at its best. The first floor welcomes you the moment you enter with gleaming wide pine floors and classic woodwork throughout. A casual family room, with wainscot ceiling and lots of light, opens to an updated kitchen that enjoys ocean breezes and views of the Atlantic. Just off the kitchen is a wonderful patio where you can enjoy ocean views while hosting outdoor dinner parties, lounging in the sun, or having smores by the fire. The formal dining room is well proportioned and the living room, with built-in bookshelves, window seat, and fireplace is the perfect place to unwind. The second level has three good sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a separate laundry room. The entire third floor is reserved for the primary suite and den/office. The primary bedroom is sunny and airy with gleaming hardwood floors, a walk-in closet, full bath with double sinks & tub and terrific ocean views. The private study/den greets you with walls of windows showcasing Atlantic views and is ideal for watching the daily sunrise. A semi-finished basement space is ideal for daily comings-and-goings with a mudroom area, hang-out area, and attached garage. The private oversized yard - boasting .76 acres - offers plenty of room for gardens, outdoor sports, and entertaining. This property includes deeded access to two separate and private neighborhood waterfront areas: the dramatic open ocean on one side and quieter, serene Pond Cove on the other. The Cove has a sand beach and is perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing (Doc Browns break), and exploring tidal pools. The Atlantic access offers a rocky beach, terrific striper fishing and miles of ocean views. Just a block from the coveted Robinson Woods (miles of hiking and mtn biking trails), a short walk to Fort Williams Park or town center, and a ten-minute drive from downtown Portland with all its amenities, this home is a gem!
