12 Surfside Avenue, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107 (MLS# 1530342)

With panoramic ocean views from Ram Island Light to Two Lights, seaside properties like this rarely come on the market. This shingle style home was built with the utmost care towards embracing its surroundings. With finishes from local sources - granite hardscape from Orland, Maine; a fireplace mantel washed ashore and salvaged and its surround crafted from a mix of local stones; white oak floors from New Hampshire; kitchen cabinetry from Maine ash - the list goes on. The interior is bathed in light from walls of windows and showcases the views from almost every angle. A spacious eat-in kitchen boasts a fabulous AGA stove, an island for casual gathering, and room for a large table to gather around. The walk-in pantry is just off the kitchen, and has storage for most everything you want tucked away from sight. A first floor guest bedroom is just down the hall, along with a 3/4 bath. And for those working from home, a first floor office with stunning water views allows you to forget you should be working. The second level offers two additional guest bedrooms - both with large closets, a full bathroom, and a separate laundry room. The primary suite, with incredible ocean views, makes you feel as if you're on a boat at sea. A walk-in closet and full bath with walk-in shower and double sinks completes the suite. A wraparound porch allows for unobstructed views of the crashing Atlantic and a screened in porch is the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day. The lower walk-out level makes best use of space with a rec room, half bath and attached 2-car garage. The utility space in the basement boasts a state of the art geothermal climate-controlled system with 5 zones, a/c, heat and dehumidification. Just minutes to Portland and all it has to offer with restaurants, entertainment and shopping, 12 Surfside Avenue really is Maine living at its best.
