In this case - rare, prime, owned Pine Point Oceanfrontage sets the stage. Bittersweet Cottage - as fondly known to both locals & tourists visiting this picturesque, coveted Beach community & as named after the lush, salt air specie - presides majestically on the shores of 7 miles of some of the most desired & infamous stretches of fine, white sand beaches in the world. It's soft, dove grey cedar shingled exterior, Dutch Colonial inspired architecture & elegant, sloping rooflines speak quietly of refined, bygone eras by the Sea & grand, Classic Beach estates, while modern interior features such Wifi, snow white quartz/ebony granite kitchen accents & modern, practical exterior upgrades such as an irrigation system to keep the expansive, manicured grounds & superbly designed gardens gracing the periphery of the home, looking their best - speak to just some of the many ways this timeless property brings both worlds together, on it's Shores. With private, direct, owned access from the home to Pine Point Beach - little more is needed for this spectacular, Grand beachouse to command attention, but for it's 7 bedrooms, some still adorned with gorgeous, original wood ceilings, stunning Ocean views spanning Biddeford Pool to Black Point from all levels of the home, magazine grade gardens, elaborate outdoor stonework/landscaping, decks, patios, porches, charming, dedicated outdoor shower area, gas fireplace & Great Room framed by French doors & windows - all - conspiring to blend indoor/outdoor living while drenching the home in airiness, serenity & natural light. A true, must-see Maine quintessential.
