TO THE BEACH There's nothing like going to the beach on a hot summer day and cooling off in the waters of Casco Bay. In the coveted Oaklawn area of seaside cottages, with deeded shore access, all you need to do is amble across the lawn and take the plunge. Architecturally designed by Will Winkelman this sun filled 3 BR, 2 baths cottage, with an outdoor shower, was totally rebuilt in 1997 without losing its original charm. Cozy in by the fireplace on a chilly Maine evening and watch the sunset over Portland Harbor. Two comfortable floors of living space plus a surprise crow's nest for storage or office use. Nearly every room has stunning, unobstructed views of the bay, Diamond Passage and the Portland skyline truly capturing the changing moods of the ebb & flow of the tides. You can even see the snowy peaks of Mt. Washington on a clear day. The fiery sunsets with an array of rainbow colors can be enjoyed as you listen to the waves lapping on the beach. TEIA sailing/tennis club is just a short stroll down the beach. What's also appealing is the grocery store, library, restaurants, post office and shops are only a short distance from the house. Savor the coastal charms while sitting on the deck or hanging out by waters-edge with family or friends. Island Life On The Shore!!!!
