Looking for a home with a story? This one has a great one. Affectionately known throughout Cape Elizabeth as ''The Bacon House, '' this beloved property sits at Mile Marker 5 of the famous Beach to Beacon race. Year after year, neighbors gather here to cheer on runners with enthusiasm, encouragement, hydration, sustenance--and yes, plenty of bacon. It's a place that perfectly captures what Mainers are known for: community, kindness, resourcefulness, humor, and genuine connection. Rebuilt on its original foundation in 2013, this charming ranch was thoughtfully designed to embrace the tranquility of its surroundings. The beautifully appointed eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home, while the inviting living room, anchored by a cozy gas stove, overlooks the peaceful backyard. Relax in a hammock, listen to the distant sounds of the surf, and enjoy the serenity that makes this property so special. The spa-inspired bathroom offers a luxurious retreat, while the primary suite features a fireplace, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard deck. A flexible second bedroom includes a Murphy bed, easily transforming the space from guest room to office or hobby room. Additional surprises include an indoor infrared sauna and a charming loft space perfect for reading, napping, working, or extra storage. Outdoor recreation is right at your doorstep. Cross the street to explore Robinson Woods Preserve, or take a short stroll through the neighborhood to enjoy deeded access to both the ocean and Pond Cove. More than just a home, this is a place where neighbors become friends, traditions are made, and every day feels connected to the very best of Maine living.
