42 Kirkwood Rd, Scarborough, ME 04074

Designed to capture ocean views at every turn, 42 Kirkwood Road is a rare offering. With private access to beautiful, sandy Scarborough Beach, this sun-filled home combines casual elegance with the classic charm of a Shingle Style coastal home. The upper main level is bathed in sunlight, with an open floor plan and all of the conveniences of one-level living. Walls of windows tastefully marry the inside with the outside and capture beautiful water views. The living room, with its cathedral ceiling and fireplace, is perfect for entertaining. French doors lead to a deck with ocean vistas. The large kitchen is the true heart of the home, an entertainer's dream with room for everyone: there's a granite peninsula and plenty of cabinet and counter space, a casual eating area with room for a large gathering table, and a fantastic sitting area with ocean views from every corner. The spacious primary suite completes the top floor, with loads of closet space, a soaking tub and access to the oceanside deck. The first floor is a surprising treat boasting a spacious family room with hardwood floors and a wood burning stove, a study, a full bathroom, two bedrooms and eat-in kitchen. Two sweet Dutch doors harken back to a bygone era and welcome ocean breezes, and large picture windows welcome the outside in. A seaside patio overlooks the sprawling lawn, the perfect place to entertain or to enjoy watching youngsters at play. An attached two car garage, a versatile entryway that can serve as a sun-room or a mudroom (necessary for those sandy beach days and muddy New England winters!), and sauna round out this exceptional property. This seaside sanctuary is in one of the most coveted locations in Scarborough. Just minutes to Prouts Neck and all that Greater Portland has to offer, opportunities like this don't come along often
