1247 Westbrook St, Portland, ME 04102

Singular and fabulous, this property combines the best of Portland's urban lifestyle with Maine's stunning natural world. 2 miles to downtown yet situated on the water overlooking a wildlife preserve. There are very few homes in Portland with private water access, and fewer with a dock-- Take your kayak down the Fore River to Casco Bay, or paddle board around the Stroudwater Historic District to the nearby waterfall. The main house features an open concept living room and dining room with remarkable water views throughout. Custom kitchen with gas range, farmhouse sink, beautiful countertops, and customized cabinetry. Bright and airy 2nd level master suite offers sweeping water views and newly renovated full bath and additional spacious ensuite across the hall. Sun-filled lower level family room with fireplace, full bath and walk out access - perfect for a third bedroom suite if desired. Bedroom and full bath with jetted tub over the detached garage with skylights, balcony and four walls of windows is currently being used as an artist's studio. 1 mile to the airport, 2.5 miles to the Maine Mall, and easy access to both 295 and the turnpike. This property has undergone EXTENSIVE interior and exterior renovations for the last five years, including a mudroom addition, deck replacements, heat pump system, custom-tiered granite steps and stone walls, and professional landscaping (see attached list of improvements and upgrades). To appreciate the extraordinary gardens, see MLS photos of Spring and Summer. Relax on the stone patio in the gardens, host a lobster bake on the waterfront deck, or throw a line out from the dock and watch for the local bald eagles and herons. With space to spread out, endless options for entertaining, and easy access to just about everything-- all with a unique and intimate connection to nature-- this property will no doubt go fast!
