Panoramic, elevated southeasterly views of wooded surroundings and open ocean in the distance is this 3 bedroom/2.5 bathroom Chalet style home. Located on 2.98 acres in a quiet rural setting, with mature landscaping and various cosmetic and mechanical updates. The home has been recently refreshed with new carpet and paint, creating a clean, cohesive interior. The cathedral-ceiling living room has a wall of windows to frame the view, all centered around a river rock chimney with gas fireplace. Just off the living room is the open concept kitchen and dining area that is well-finished with soapstone counters, cherry cabinetry, and generous work surfaces. Tucked in the southern part of the home, the first-floor primary suite is spacious and private, with a full bathroom, tile shower, walk in closet, and access to a flexible bonus space - currently being used as an exercise room but has many options. Radiant heat throughout the first floor adds gentle warmth to the space. The basement is notably dry and well-kept, with 8+ foot ceilings, daylight walkout access, and an efficient Viessmann boiler. Durable Hardie Plank siding, an attached two-car garage, and a large canvas hut offers substantial storage for a boat or equipment. The grounds are established with perennial plantings, a mature magnolia tree, beach plum bushes, and naturally occurring wild blueberries. Rock wall garden beds define planting areas, and the soil is great for vegetable gardening. Bluestone was recently added to the driveway, complementing existing stone hardscaping. The wraparound porch overlooks the fire pit and grill patio, and extends the living area to enjoy outdoor gatherings. Located in Harpswell with low property taxes and over 200 miles of coastline, with access to local beaches, walking trails, outdoor recreation, and more.
