From the exterior, the home presents as a timeless New England property with a welcoming farmer's porch and traditional form. Inside, the residence has been thoughtfully transformed with a light-filled aesthetic inspired by clean contemporary design. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame ever-changing tidal views, marshlands, and abundant wildlife, creating a setting that feels immersive and completely private. The main level is thoughtfully arranged with well-scaled rooms that flow beautifully together, opening to a sun filled kitchen and dining area at the back with direct connection to a screened porch overlooking the water. Upstairs features flexible gathering spaces, a rooftop deck, a primary suite with adjacent laundry, additional bedrooms, and versatile flex rooms. The partially finished lower level includes a traditional sauna. Outside, the property spans 3.5 acres with approximately 1,000 feet of tidal frontage, along with an attached three car garage, patio, and a detached waterfront garage or workshop with future potential. Just minutes to Cape Elizabeth's beaches and a short drive to Portland, this home offers rare privacy, sweeping views, and close proximity to everything the coast has to offer.
