Description

Bearing no traces of its 1950s vintage, this Lincolnville residence was transformed into a modern day cottage that fits right into the streetscape of homes along this tree-lined street. Under the canopy of a welcome shade tree, the ell-shaped screened front porch offers 2 generous seating areas as you make your way to the front door. Inside, the contemporary floor plan features the living room and kitchen which then steps down to a large family room and then out to an even bigger screened patio. The flow is easy from front porch to outdoor gathering room with all the common areas in between. Bedrooms are lined up on the south side of the house with the first overlooking the front porch and immediately adjacent to the guest bath with tiled walk-in shower. En-suite, the primary bedroom is just off the living room. Three closets provide ample storage, and the bathroom offers tub/shower and 2 sinks in an oversized vanity. 3rd bedroom is presently in use as a music room. The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged for 2 people to work together. An 8' island is great for meal prep, serving buffet style or a cocktail bar at parties. Step down to the family room and think about how you would use this versatile flex space. A wall of closets closest to the kitchen provide extra pantry and storage space. Everyone wants that "extra" room and this one is ready to be dining room, movie room, home gym - whatever suits your style. A 21' x 15'6 screened patio is where you'll live a good part of the year. Supremely private thanks to the fenced yard and native landscaping, this will be the spot for all sorts of activities. There's no grass to mow so cross that off your weekend to-do list. Softly carpeted with pine bark nuggets, the backyard is also home to a firepit for cooler evenings and a new shed to keep your bikes and boards dry. Heading south, it's an easy walk to the community pool open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the basketball courts, playground and community garden. A bit further brings you to the Dr Hayling Freedom Park with scenic vistas and a set of chimes that anyone call play (even if you have a tin ear!). Going north, you'll find a favorite breakfast and lunch place called the Blue Hen and across the street, the Lincolnville Museum where you can learn more about your new neighborhood. The hot news is a much-loved local restaurateur will be opening a new establishment 7 blocks away and we promise it will be outstanding! A couple more blocks and you're in downtown central where there's so much to do, you'll have to make a schedule. We'll be waiting for you on the porch...
