19 West View Rd, Chebeague Island, ME 04017

19 West View, on Chebeague Island, is a one-of-a-kind, 4,050 SF, timber frame home which was cut & built onsite in 2000-2001. Fine craftsmanship and high ceilings can be seen throughout. The property of nearly an acre is in a prime East End location across from the 5th green of the Great Chebeague Island Golf Course with fairway views. On the Casco Bay side there is a 48' long porch with glimpses of the water, and a ROW path to the shore. The house blends into the landscape of perennial plantings and a patio of locally cut stone. A focal point of the LR is a gas fireplace. The brick is from the Baptist Meeting House that was built circa 1840. The bricks are thought to have been made on the island at a brickyard which was located at Division Point. The antique door on the beehive oven is authentic. The pine floorboards are exceptionally wide, some 17 to 18 inches. Some other unique features are the wainscoting in the back hall & kitchen which was salvaged from the cloak room of an old school. The room above the 2 car garage has 3 half-round windows that were originally from Portland City Hall. The house has been enhanced and virtually rebuilt over the last few years. Most windows have been replaced, and it was re-roofed, some cedar shakes replaced, a steel beam added to the garage, 3.5 baths have been rebuilt or created, and the kitchen has been remodeled. The wiring & plumbing were redone and brought up to code. This does not begin to describe the stairways built, floors refinished & extensive carpentry work that has been done. The result is a magnificent, like-new property in a premier location that melds unique details with high-end finishes. Special features include a 1st FL in-law, or primary suite with a total of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. There is a 2nd floor laundry room, family room, and a bonus, easily accessible 3rd floor loft that could serve as office or studio. The rec room over the garage under the cupola awaits a pool table or one's imagination.
