Perched above Seashore Avenue, this distinguished, water-facing property is a showcase of island real estate. The vibrant array of landscaping compliments the lot's gentle slope. The shingled exterior features a distinctive turret with copper spire, trellises, columns, and a gable pediment. Wide stairs lead to a deluxe, pergola-covered deck that connects to the entry door and nearby kitchen, providing a convenient transition between outdoor and indoor spaces. The deck is expansive - ideal for entertainment. Inside, the living room has original vertical beadboard walls and timber-framed ceilings, gleaming fir flooring, and a wood-burning fireplace. Windows frame a picturesque back shore water view. Sliding French doors connect to a bright sunroom overlooking the shore, lush landscaping, and the deck. The well-designed, eat-in kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and quality appliances. The rear addition features two private bedrooms, a full bathroom with an antique porcelain sink, skylight, handy workstation, plus laundry area with stained-glass window and access to a backyard clothesline. The second floor has an updated bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower, skylight, and farmhouse sink. Enjoy gorgeous water views from the spacious primary bedroom with seating area in the turret. A cozy corner office has beadboard walls, a skylight, and built-in nook. The location is just steps to the water's edge and walkable to ''down front'' where you'll find shops, services, a variety of eateries, and the ferry landing. A 20 minute ferry ride will transport you to Portland's cherished Old Port. This gorgeous, year-round home is being sold with tasteful, thoughtfully collected furnishings.
