Charming cape by the sea, ''Mainely Ours'' has history and charm. The original cape built in 1890, has been upgraded over the years and expanded in 2010. Sitting high on Fort Hill at the very end of the road, safe from ocean storms but with views of the water. Just steps from the private neighborhood beach. New kitchen with granite counters in 2013, and both full baths were recently renovated. The private location has a deck on the back, off of the living room. The sunny circle patio on the front corner is a favorite hang out in late afternoon. A gas insert was installed in the fireplace in 2015, creating a cozy corner on chilly nights. Great location to kayak, enjoy the beach, fish or walk on the sand bars searching for sand dollars. Yacht club nearby, summer views include beautiful large sail boats. Great location for boaters. Just south of Portland, next door to Kennebunkport and only two hours from Boston. Enjoy all this area has to offer.
