About This Home
As of July 2025Tucked in one of Cape Elizabeth's most treasured neighborhoods, this Tudor-inspired cottage feels as timeless as it does current—with curated updates that make life easy and enjoyable. Bright, open, and thoughtfully updated, the kitchen makes everyday living feel elevated. Hardwood floors flow through to a living area, where light finds every corner. A dining room and sitting room with a gas fireplace complete the first floor. Upstairs, the space above the garage has been transformed into a flexible wing—with a primary bedroom, full bath, and a light-filled office, studio or 5th bedroom. Whether you're working from home or just claiming a corner to call your own, it's a layout that adapts to the way you live. Three additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide comfort and space, while updates like new windows, heating systems, and a new roof offer peace of mind for years to come. Outside, the private, beautifully landscaped yard invites everything from lawn games to late-summer dinners. And with Cliff House Beach, Willard Beach, and downtown Portland just minutes away, this home is more than a house — it's a lifestyle. 31 Forest Road is the home you have been waiting for — well-built, quietly stylish, and easy to love.
