5 Aldis Lane, York, ME 03909

Carry your coffee out to the overlook and the Atlantic opens up in front of you, at the mouth of York Harbor. This is the rare in-town spot that gives you the view and the quiet in the same place. The house sits high and private, screened by mature trees and heavy granite stonework, the grounds stepping down across multiple levels. There's a pergola-shaded deck off the four-season sunroom, a hot tub, a stone terrace wide enough for a full bar, and a flagstone overlook perfect for Adirondack chairs. You can host gatherings of sixty here comfortably. The four-season sunroom is surrounded by windows on three sides, awash in natural light and ocean views. The kitchen runs on a 60-inch Wolf range, with Brazilian cherry counters and a striped wood floor that carries through the house. The square formal dining room has its own ocean view and a gas fireplace, room for a real dinner. Ocean views turn up all over, and there's room for everyone to stay. The owner's suite has the best of them all, with water views from the bed and even the walk-in closet, plus a full en-suite bath. An ocean-view guest suite stands on its own, with a private office, a full bath, and its own laundry. Two more guest rooms follow, one with a private bath. The private third floor adds two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a common room. The Carriage House, a detached three-car garage, holds a full apartment with its own entrance, a full kitchen, and ocean views from multiple rooms, even the shower. It's all an easy walk from here: the York Harbor Inn, Harbor Beach, the Wiggly Bridge, Steedman Woods, and Fisherman's Walk. Long Sands Beach, Short Sands Beach, and Nubble Light are all just a few miles up the coast. It's a shingled 1890 Victorian, over 6,200 square feet of living space, seven bedrooms, five and a half baths, propane heat, gas fireplaces, and public water and sewer, in York Harbor, Maine. The view is the first thing you'll fall for here, and it won't be the last.
