Enjoy expansive ocean and working waterfront views and abundant natural light from a property with Scandinavian simplicity and sensibility blended with warm and welcoming modern materials. The views - amazing. The rooms - expansive. The lines - clean. The master craftspeople at Cornerstone Building & Restoration reimagined, restored and rebuilt this circa 1860 home into something 'brand new'. All systems (plumbing, heating, A/C, electrical, insulation) and surfaces (walls, windows, doors, roof, siding) have been updated to offer stress‑free, healthy-living and superior performance. A super insulated envelope, new windows and doors, ultra‑efficient natural gas boiler and mini splits (heat & AC) ensure your carbon footprint is in check and cost of ownership is remarkably low. Main living level offers a sun‑filled open concept living, dining, kitchen area facing due south with lots of light and views of Casco Bay. The first floor office / den / bedroom is a favorite with its polished concrete floor and rich exposed beams. Add in a main level full bath for single level living or the perfect guest experience. Upper level has a water view primary suite with spa‑worthy bath and deluxe walk‑in closet along with a spare bedroom and additional full bath. Ground level offers two‑car garage parking with direct access to the home through mudroom. 2,300+sf, 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 car garage. This is the ideal condo alternative and the ideal in-town lot promises no maintenance and the perfect spot to grill and chill. The location is a blend of close but not too close. Adjacent to Harbor View Memorial Park and a short walk to countless recreation and lifestyle amenities. It's close to downtown, the Old Port and the Arts District yet removed from the hustle and bustle. This is living your best life in an amazing city.
