A rare opportunity to join the desirable Cape Cottage community, a hamlet of Cape Elizabeth. Expansive and protected open views of the Casco bay channel await at the end of a quiet street located minutes from in-town Portland. Feel your stress fade as you take the turn off Maine's iconic Shore Rd and wind down toward the water into a quiet slice of paradise. Watch the lobster boats go by from your screened-in porch or head up to the spectacular third floor perch to take in unforgettable sunrises that light up the sky each morning.
Originally constructed in 1928, this remarkable residence has undergone a complete renovation while still retaining its classic coastal character, complete with water views from most rooms. The gourmet kitchen boasts beautiful finishes and quality appliances. Considered a single family home with in-law space or 2-family home, this exceptional property offers 4+ bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 half baths, 2 fireplaces, many period details, hardwood floors, natural gas heat, a 2-car garage, a lovely yard, and rock gardens. The extensive landscaping and hardscaping seamlessly blend into the outdoor living area for grilling and entertainment. The charming and well-appointed 2 bed, 1.5 bath rental apartment allows for reliable rental income year round or enables you to take advantage of the strong summer rental market.
