Tucked into the sought-after coastal enclave of Drakes Island, 66 Grove Street offers an appealing combination of classic Maine character, thoughtful updates, and proximity to the beach. Just steps from the broad sands of Drakes Island Beach, the property has undergone an extensive series of improvements in recent years, including a new roof, windows, electrical updates, siding, decks, and more. A comprehensive improvement list is available for a closer look at the care invested in the property. Inside, the home strikes a natural balance between traditional charm and contemporary comfort. The first floor is designed for both gathering and retreat, with several distinct living and dining spaces, including a dramatic cathedral-ceilinged great room, an open kitchen with views to the expansive rear deck, a dedicated dining area, and a cozy reading space centered around a pellet stove. A generous first-floor bedroom offers additional flexibility and could potentially be reconfigured to create two bedrooms. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide ample room for family and guests, along with a half bath that offers the potential to be expanded to include a shower. The layout is equally well suited to relaxed summers by the sea, year-round living, or an income-producing rental, offering a versatility that is increasingly rare in this coveted coastal setting. Outside, a classic covered front porch overlooks a broad, deep lawn with room for games and gatherings, while the recently constructed rear deck creates an inviting setting for outdoor dining, grilling, and summer entertaining. An attached garage provides welcome storage for beach gear, bicycles, and the necessities of coastal life. With the beach essentially at your doorstep and the shops, restaurants, and year-round amenities of Wells just minutes away, 66 Grove Street offers a compelling opportunity to enjoy the best of the Maine coast.
