Prominently located between Foreside Road and the Atlantic Ocean, this spectacular Grande Dame offers a rare plantation-style setting as you enter through stone pillars and meander down a long private drive with a canopy of large mature trees, and glimpses of Casco Bay. This historic circa 1880 home on an expansive, sunlit 1.85-acre parcel has the commanding presence of a bygone era with elevated seasonal ocean views, original stone walls, and architectural detail nothing short of a masterpiece....Prominently located between Foreside Road and the Atlantic Ocean, this spectacular Grande Dame offers a rare plantation-style setting as you enter through stone pillars and meander down a long private drive with a canopy of large mature trees, and glimpses of Casco Bay. This historic circa 1880 home on an expansive, sunlit 1.85-acre parcel has the commanding presence of a bygone era with elevated seasonal ocean views, original stone walls, and architectural detail nothing short of a masterpiece. It offers spectacular exterior trim work, a grand center staircase, intricately carved moldings, high ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and a dramatic great room. Freshly painted throughout the interior, with a new roof, all original charm and character have been beautifully preserved. Located in the heart of Falmouth Foreside, it's minutes to Portland Country Club and Yacht Club, waterfront restaurants, and shopping, and just ten minutes to the Jetport and vibrant city of Portland.
