Imagine coming home to your very own Peaks Island retreat with spectacular unobstructed ocean views of the seashore, islands and mainland This back-shore year round Peaks Island home is surrounded by the privacy of wide open nature and protected shorefront, yet only a 15 minute boat ride from all Portland has to offer. Starting with the glow of the morning sunrise and ending with the evening colors of the sunset, this open floor plan home takes optimal advantage of the wide views. Bright rooms with freshly sanded wide pine floors and whitewashed walls encourage open entertaining/living. The kitchen/dining/living area is complete with a retro Malm Imperial freestanding fireplace that brings firelight on those chilly evenings. Continuing with the views, through the French doors is a sunlight filled vaulted-ceiling bonus room just waiting for your style of living. Outside, a spacious deck looking across the beautiful gardens and waterfront offer more room to spread out, and a large stone patio behind the house offers privacy and nature. This is truly a home for connecting with the outside. And finally... a heated unfinished level lower with its own entrances and plenty of space could offer room for possible expansion, or a guest unit, a fun game room, your call! Come take a look and imagine yourself surrounded by the beauty of this private island home.
