Set along Maine's rocky coast line, this timeless home known as ''Coveside'' overlooks 370+/- feet of bold ocean frontage. Upon entering the living room you will be instantly drawn to the oversized windows. Experience the ever-changing beauty of the seasons in the stunning living and dining room, featuring elegant hardwood floors and breathtaking panoramic ocean views. Cozy up by the wood-burning fireplace during winter nor'easters and delight in the sight of cruise ships gliding into harbor on sunny days. The eat-in kitchen offers a more casual space with a fireplace and access to the screen porch overlooking the cove and ship channel. With water views from nearly every room, this home offers one level living with private guest quarters in the daylight, walk out lower level. Outside, a path leads you to a second cove and your own private point where you can enjoy views of Portland Headlight, Ram Island, Halfway Rock and Sequin Lighthouse, all while watching the waves crash below you. Originally developed by Alan Balfour, Smugglers Cove has become a coveted seaside neighborhood. The home is remarkably convenient to the center of Cape Elizabeth, Robinson Woods Conservation Land, South Portland amenities, downtown Portland and the Portland International Jetport. Available for the first time in 71 years, seize this rare opportunity to make these stunning views a part of your everyday life.
