Retreat to the mid-coast area of Maine and work from home in this warm, welcoming and secure four bedroom Italianate. With seasonal water views, this home is only one block to the harbor and two to the beach. Located in the highly desirable Chestnut Street Historic District, the house is well positioned amongst beautiful period homes, lovely gardens, and hilly streets canopied by mature trees, while enjoying a large, private garden, all within an easy walk to town. The timeless and traditional design of the home along with lots of light, open spaces and great flow, offers well-balanced and highly usable living spaces. Charming pine floors, high ceilings, a marble sink, wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and original bead board are a few of the trademark elements of the period architecture. A covered wrap-around porch provides a comfortable area for relaxing or waving hello to your neighbor, while the private back yard with a tiered deck and custom stone fire pit allow you the serenity to enjoy the outdoors without interruption. The light filled, finished walk-out basement, with its own entrance and bathroom, is currently used as a yoga/pilates studio, but could be a home office, art studio, or privately accessed guest quarters. The library can easily covert to a first floor bedroom with close access to a full bath. The property has been a year round home, has had a prosperous and solid rental history, and is available for immediate occupancy, with no current occupants.
