Open House SATURDAY 6/20 from 10-12pm, no appointment necessary. Located on a quiet dead-end street, this Cape Elizabeth home captures why people choose Maine. Recently refreshed, it blends classic New England architecture with move-in-ready comfort. Inside, original hardwood floors add character, while fresh paint provides a bright backdrop. The kitchen features new cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and custom mudroom built-ins, making it perfect for daily routines. A separate sitting room offers a traditional retreat or formal dining room. The window-wrapped, skylit living room, anchored by a Waterford wood stove, is designed for reading, snowy mornings, and cozy evenings. The layout includes 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, with a first-floor primary suite for easy single-level living. Upstairs, two bedrooms have unique rooflines, built-ins, and subtle shiplap details for added character. The backyard feels like a private escape, with a wooden deck surrounded by blooming perennials and seasonal color. The backyard features an outdoor grilling area, a handmade sandbox, and a charming shingled garden shed. Less than a mile from the shoreline, the beach is part of daily life. Walks start with salt air and head into town, while evenings are relaxed and neighborly. Popular spots like The Cookie Jar, Rosemont Market, Scratch Bakery, Terracotta Pasta, David's 388, and A&C Soda Shop are all close by. Cape Elizabeth is one of Maine's most desirable coastal towns, with protected shoreline, scenic roads, Fort Williams Park, and the Portland Head Light. Downtown Portland is just 10 minutes away, yet it feels like a different world. This move-in-ready home is memorable and rooted in place.
