Want to be year-round on Big Sebago? A summer retreat? This newly constructed paradise on the (drive-to) Papoose Island feels like poetry. Enjoy peaceful sounds of this Maine lake w/ 166' of sandy frontage on an extravagant lot. The breathtaking water views from every room thru the new large windows makes for a beautiful escape for you & yours. Flawlessly combined state of the art design elements for a most dramatically unique home. Master craftsmanship into every detail of this newly renovated escape provides quality of life & relaxation at its finest. Enormous chef's kitchen designed by a boutique designer; experience cooking on a French La Cornue range w/ added features such as a 72'' fridge/freezer & custom French hood. Perfect for entertaining your out of town guests with not 1 but 2 Master suites; one upstairs that offers a soaking tub & one on the 1st floor. Expansive decking off main floor master & dining/living rooms gives you the luxury of indoor or outdoor dining festivities all year long; with a one of a kind stunning view off either of the 2 docks. (one to park your boat, the other to bask in the sun) This custom home showcases details to include central heating/cooling, gas fireplaces (living room & master), wide plank hardwood floors throughout, mudroom for wet towels/winter boots, custom tile showers to privately enjoy a rinse. Let the lake start your morning with a coffee in hand & end your day watching the sunset on the new stone retaining wall that was carefully and articulately engineered for over $150K. Best of both worlds; 'feel' of island living with the ease of causeway access. A lifestyle home; brand new from bottom up, makes this a one of a kind gem & rare find. This home marries both practical & functional together exquisitely with a finished daylight basement w/ full bath & direct access to the lake. Turn key property flanked by island privacy & sounds of water out your door make this one an exceptional estate at an exceptional value!
