Property Details for 252 Seashore Avenue, Portland, ME 04108
Description
Perched along the scenic backshore of Peaks Island, this elevated, seaside cottage captures premium ocean views. The bright, year-round home has a single-level, open-concept floorplan with a spacious living room, dining area and kitchen - all oriented toward the water. The kitchen features a peninsula for barstool seating and a wood-burning stove for ambiance and extra warmth. Also facing the water is a vaulted, window-lined sun room/bonus room with French doors, skylights, and sliders that open to the sunny deck. Outside you'll enjoy ample wrap-around decking with stunning, unobstructed views, a private stone patio, lovely perennials / shrubs, and a grassy yard that's surrounded by nature. Enjoy the serenity of a sunrise, ocean breezes, birdsong, and the swishing tide - or venture out and explore the island on foot or bicycle. With Portland's Old Port just a 15-minute ferry ride away, endless dining options, shopping and entertainment await. This well-maintained island cottage is furnished so its new owner can unpack the groceries and stroll just a few steps to the water's edge. The heated, unfinished lower level offers valuable storage and potential living space.
