This is a rare opportunity to own a true mid-century masterpiece across from Ft. Williams Park and the Portland Head Light. Designed and built from 1968-1972, by noted Maine Architect John Leasure, this home is perfectly situated high on the rocky ledge. The home boasts a large living space with soaring ceilings, show-stopping fireplace and cantilevered walkway over the sunken living room. It's an entertainer's dream with a large kitchen and dining room – and a mid-century classic bar, complete with vintage wallpaper and bar sink. There is a large den that can be closed off from the rest of the house with a custom gas fireplace and tile surround. The finished lower level provides space for home office, gym or kid play space, as well as abundant storage. It was thoughtfully updated by SoPo Cottage in 2018-19 to meet modern energy efficiency and safety standards, while maintaining all of its vintage mid-century charm. The home has all new heating and cooling systems, new kitchen, baths, roof, siding, windows, electrical and plumbing. There is a large new deck perched in the treetops and abundant natural plantings throughout the 1.3 acre property. In the winter, there are beautiful sunrises with glimpses of Casco Bay and Rams Head light. You can't beat the location - walk across the street to Ft. Williams and the Portland Head Light, or walk up Shore Rd to Willard restaurants, bakeries and beach. Want something quieter? The neighborhood has direct access to the Cape Elizabeth trail system. The property includes a parcel that could be subdivided. Home has been featured in numerous magazine and TV news programs.
