44 Ocean View Rd Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107

Offered for the first time ever! 44 Ocean View Road has remained in the same family since it was built in 1906 and it is now ready for new stewards to call it their own. The minute you walk onto the covered porch you know you're in for a treat. Built with quality construction you won't find nowadays it combines the enchantment of yesteryear with modern amenities of today. Large rooms, high ceilings, custom details and classic charm abound throughout. An open foyer sets the tone for this beautiful property, with a winding split staircase leading to an airy second floor landing. A wood-burning fireplace and classic columns welcome you into the formal living room, perfectly proportioned and with huge windows bathing the first floor in natural light. A formal dining room is perfect for hosting holidays. The kitchen is bright and updated with cherry cabinetry, a large island, plenty of counter space and it opens to a great room with a cathedral ceiling and plenty of windows welcoming the outdoors in. The second level has many options: the primary suite currently enjoys a separate, private sitting room; it could be separated into two bedrooms as it was originally. Two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom with clawfoot tub - and convenient laundry - round out the second floor. The walk-up third floor has untapped potential, with large windows and two spacious rooms. Over the years the property has been updated with a natural gas boiler, new Andersen windows, a new roof and a fresh exterior paint job. Just two blocks to Cliff House Beach, a mile to Fort Williams Park and minutes by car to downtown Portland and the Old Port, this home is a true gem.
