Classic, updated, eco-friendly, and a very desirable location. This four-square colonial home has been lovingly maintained and updated while retaining much of its original period features and charm. The stained-glass windows, hardwood floors and built-ins offer gentle reminders of a time long ago. An updated kitchen includes natural butcher's block counter sourced from Maine's Seven Islands Forests plus eco-friendly & sustainable marmoleum countertop on the peninsula. The third-level bath flooring is marmoleum while the rest of the suite flooring is natural cork. The solar hot water heater also has an on-demand backup from the furnace. The first floor living area boasts a comfortable living room with a fireplace wood insert to cozy up any snowy winter day. The dining room & kitchen area include 3 built-in cabinets plus a breakfast bar for quick meals. The second floor offers 3 bedrooms plus an office, yoga room, craft room, or bedroom, along with a full bath. A French door leads to the third-floor suite that includes a full bath plus many built-ins, including a futon bed. With plenty of room for a queen-size bed or a desk, this makes for a perfect teenager's ''place of their own'', your own peaceful nest, or a serene home office. Enjoy the generous yard with walking paths, sitting areas, mature landscaping, including raspberry bushes that should be ready for new owners to harvest in early July, and yes, an outside shower with hot water! The extensive yet very private, partially covered porch and deck is a perfect spot for entertaining or just hanging out with a good book. A short distance to Cliff House Beach, Fort Williams, The Cookie Jar, David's and all that Willard Square & Shore Road areas have to offer. Access all that Cape Elizabeth schools offer while still having the convenience of public transportation and a quick drive to downtown Portland.
