This 2,100 sq. ft. two-story home is set on a quiet street where the sounds of bicycles, the ice cream truck, and the ocean set the tone. Recent renovations include a new roof, windows, HVAC with central air, and a raised foundation built to FEMA requirements, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. A wide front porch welcomes you—perfect for relaxing with a book or enjoying evening sunsets. Inside, a bright foyer opens to a spacious living room with a stone gas fireplace and a sunny alcove ideal for a reading nook or small desk. The dining area offers plenty of room for large gatherings, while a private study with exposed brick, wood-burning fireplace, and built-ins provides a cozy retreat. The award-winning kitchen blends style and function with marble and mahogany counters, custom oak cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, a walk-in pantry, and a high-end gas range. Whether entertaining or preparing a casual meal, it's designed to be both beautiful and practical. Upstairs, four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceiling, spa-like bath with double vanity and soaking tub, and windows that welcome the morning sun. Each room enjoys views of the yard and gardens. Outdoors, you'll find a convenient dog-washing station—perfect after a day at the beach—along with plenty of space to enjoy the Drakes Island lifestyle. From sunrise walks along the sand to evening gatherings on the porch, living here means embracing a relaxed, close-knit community with unmatched access to one of Maine's most beautiful stretches of coastline.
