Sweeping views, surprising space, and standout versatility define this one-of-a-kind home overlooking the Spurwink River. Larger than it appears from the outside, this thoughtfully renovated home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy stunning river views without the waterfront taxes. With a layout that's anything but cookie-cutter, the home blends flexible living spaces, modern updates, and a connection to nature that's hard to find. Recent improvements include beautifully renovated bathrooms and kitchen, wood floors, lighting, heating system, and more, creating a move-in-ready home that feels both comfortable and contemporary. The open-concept kitchen, living and dining area is designed for gathering, centered around an oversized island that flows naturally into a sunken living room. Expansive windows frame the river views, while a large deck extends the living space outdoors, making it easy to entertain or relaxing. The main level offers the convenience of first-floor living with two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, and mudroom. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom and full bath provide a private serene retreat. Three separate decks invite you to enjoy the outdoors from every angle, including one off the main living area, one from the primary bedroom, and another serving the finished space above the two-car garage. With its own entrance and many of the components already in place, this versatile space offers exciting possibilities for multigenerational living, a home office, guest accommodations. An unfinished basement offers storage and future potential. Whether you're spending the day at Higgins Beach, launching a kayak from Spurwink River Pier, or heading into Portland for dinner, everything is within easy reach. Combining sweeping river views, flexible living spaces, and a setting immersed in nature, this is a home that offers a lifestyle as unique as the property itself.
