Hancock - Beach Property For Sale #4921700

Blending French colonial with coastal Maine cottage design, this custom home demonstrates style & grace at every turn. Built to host & entertain, an open floorplan, lofty ceilings and endless details are hallmarks of the home's character. Utilized as an intimate B&B for a number of years, spaces within the home allow guests to connect, while still enjoying privacy in the four en suite bedrooms. A master suite occupies the east end of the 1st floor, with its sumptuous bath & twin walk-in closets. The cathedral ceiling library is set off from the main living area, donning an elaborate faux fireplace & built-in bookshelves. The main living room's warmth is enhanced by a wood burning fireplace set below a soaring ceiling that includes a unique 2nd floor interior window and a display alcove. Two areas for dining are on offer, the first being a more casual space (with the best water views in the home) between the living room & kitchen, and the second being a more formal space, with its built-in glassed china cabinet, long window seat & playful cloudscape mural. Custom elements are many in the kitchen, including counter bar seating, multiple cabinetry styles, herb garden window, screened pantry and pro grade Viking range. The 2nd floor consists of three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with their own full bathroom. Most rooms enjoy a scenic view of the ocean. The view from the 2nd floor interior window is a memorable one! Charming wide pine flooring is in place for most of the home. Central AC, built-in sound system, automatic generator, laundry room and heated two car attached garage all add to the comforts in place. The entire home conveys exquisitely furnished. The grounds consist of 2.9 acres owning an entire point (651') on tidal Kilkenny Cove. Privacy here is unquestioned with nature surrounding and views of ocean, islands & pine clad shores ever present. Choice plantings provide flora diversity with plenty of open, southern exposure to grow the gardens further.
