464 Port Clyde Rd Tenants Harbor, ME 04860

When we were driving down to view 464 Port Clyde Road, we stopped into a general store that has been part of the Tenants Harbor landscape for generations. Inside, we heard it said that 
''August is like the Sunday of summer'' and that little moment in time has defined how we feel about this quintessential Maine saltwater farmhouse. It's lupines, green grass and pine trees, Adirondack chairs on mossy granite ledge, sea glass and sea shells on the sill of open windows with gauzy white curtains billowing on a salty breeze...all wrapped up in a slower pace and a serene and comfortable place to call home at any time of the year. Located in Martinsville, a hamlet of the St. George Peninsula nestled between the villages of Port Clyde and Tenants Harbor, this 4 bedroom, 3 bath house sits on 1.2 acres with views of the harbor and the open ocean beyond and is just minutes to sandy Drift Inn Beach. This well-cared for house is a union of classic Maine architecture and aesthetic with modern upgrades that make daily life more comfortable. Beautiful original wood floors, a Parson's Cupboard in the fireplace surround, high ceilings, a soapstone sink, a wood burning stove in the dining area live in perfect harmony with contemporary conveniences such as high end appliances, air conditioning via heat pumps, a whole house generator and an attached one car garage. The space inside the house in open and flexible which is very different from many houses built in this era; whereas other houses of this ilk tend to have smaller, activity specific rooms the flow and layout of 464 Port Clyde feels more cohesive and welcoming creating a true gathering place. We aren't often at a loss for words...but the ''feeling'' at this house defies description. It feels like it should if that makes any sense at all...it's easy to be immediately content here and it's very easy, when you are literally anywhere in the house, to imagine your life unfolding here and settling in.
