Located on 'Sunset Bay' on the Saco River, the sunsets have a strong influence on the colorful yet natural design of the home. The architecture draws your attention to the awesome beauty of the river year-round and to the joyous activity that highlights Summer on the Coast. From the traditional white eastern cedar dock system to the array of native species in the yard, the landscape design is an intentional tribute to the natural beauty of Maine. Local granite creates a strong and elegant hardscape, and local artisans forged stunning railings and fences to define spaces and support waterfront safety. The home's exterior was redesigned to have a more modern casual look. Custom stained natural cedar shingles, new roof and numerous architectural details enhance the exterior design. The home stands out for its uniqueness and curb appeal but blends subtly into its surroundings due to color and material choices. On the first floor, the front entrance welcomes you to the open concept space with rich, warm colors and a naturally durable slate floor. Newly remodeled gourmet kitchen, dining and living areas with a gas fireplace provide state of the art, high-end design and convenience for cooking and entertaining. A whimsical bathroom and cozy media/family room with gas stove complete the easy-living ground level. On the second floor, the master suite sanctuary features a large walk-in closet, deck overlooking the water, gas fireplace and a modern, spacious bathroom that is the ultimate space to relax and pamper. On the opposite side of the second level there are two additional bedrooms, another new full bath and an office space. Most of the main functional systems of the home have been replaced or enhanced including a new boiler and water heater. Modern coastal living at its finest!
