76 Beech Ridge Rd, Scarborough, ME 04074

Close to the Jetport, a number of spectacular local beaches, and downtown Portland, this beautiful home is ideally situated. Our farmhouse, originally built in 1799, has a country feel while being close to the action. There is a separate entrance, free parking, a huge yard, and great views of the Maine sky and horses grazing across the street. Enjoy rural living with immediate access to Portland's nightlife and dining scene. This property is a carefully curated and lovely home, built in 1799, that operates as a popular short-term rental during the summer season. It is a family home that is much loved and cared for and very recently renovated. The property sits on two acres and receives great light. We love to host conscientious mid-term and long-term tenants during the fall/winter/spring. We welcome pets if they are carefully supervised and well cared for. There is a 1 BR apartment attached to the main house that has a separate entrance and is also a rental. In all my years of airbing both spaces, no one has complained about noise from the adjoining property. Scarborough's public school system is excellent for a variety of reasons I am more than happy to elaborate upon if you are curious. The best thing about this property is how it is secluded and yet close to anything you might need. Portland is a 15-minute drive away. There are several trails and beaches on which to walk your dogs or take a walk (or run) by yourself. The house is about 10 - 15 minutes from two grocery stores, the mall, a Costco, and the airport. Above all, it is quiet. The road in front of the house can get a little zippy. (What once was a country road is now a popular road that seems to invite speeding given its scenic and winding nature.) We are happy to take you on a Facetime tour of the property if you're interested. We cover the utilities and ask that you conserve electricity and gas by turning it down when you are away from the house. Smoking is fine outside the house. There is ample parking in our driveway.
