180 Spurwink Avenue, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107

Originally built for gracious one-level living, this classic bungalow now offers the best of both worlds, with a spacious primary suite addition on the second floor. And the private, Cape Elizabeth setting is less than ten minutes from both downtown Portland, and beautiful Crescent Beach State Park. The unusual design of this bungalow gave it an open floor plan well ahead of its time. The kitchen and dining rooms are wide open; as is the connection to the living room. And what a living room! About twice the traditional size, it's anchored by a handsome stone-faced fireplace. An elegant leaded-glass window flanks the formal front door. The first floor also offers two bedrooms and a full bath, plus a dazzling, glassy sunroom. One-level living is definitely an option here. And a slate-tiled screened porch could grant sunset view across the open fields of Maxwell Farm Road, if you do a little hedge-trimming. Throughout the first floor, the original hardwood flooring is in good condition, as are the period moldings. Custom covers dress up the steam radiators. Upstairs is a contemporary addition. A huge primary suite is completed with a full bath, and a walk-in closet. There's plenty of room for a home office and hobby space. Windows onto the wooded backyard lend a treehouse effect to the space. The basement is finished, offering additional options for play space, work space, home gym. This private lot is extraordinary. You'll know #180 by the pink granite pillars at the driveway. Tucked off the street is plentiful parking and a drive-under garage. The custom masonry includes a gorgeous pink-granite foundation with masonry planting box, walkway, and steps. Nearly an acre of landscaped lawns and woods invite exploration, perhaps a tree house or a she-shed, ask the town about an ADU? Purpoodock golf course is just down the street; and farm stands abound. You will love living here! Showings start July 20. Open house: 7/22, 11-2. Offer deadline: 7/24/23, 5 pm
