Affectionately known by locals as Beach Haven, this charming Dutch Gambrel (circa 1935) sits high on a bluff overlooking Biddeford Pool on one of the largest lots ever offered for sale on this coveted beach. Boasting a .74-acre lot, 114’ of ocean frontage and 360-degree ocean and pool-water views, potential buyers would be hard pressed to find anything like it in today’s local market. Presented by Patrick Carey of Carey & Giampa Realtors, this beautifully renovated year-round “cottage” lists for $2,889,000.
An ocean-facing patio and a covered deck lead the way to a classically designed interior heightened by fir flooring, white wood beamed ceilings and paneled walls painted in soft hues to reflect those of the sea. A cozy 10×10 waterfront sunroom ushers you into an inviting living room with floor to ceiling windows and a gas fireplace ideal for those cooler evenings. An eat-in kitchen nearby is well-equipped with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a dining peninsula with pendant lighting and ample storage. Conveniently adjacent, the dining room provides a generous yet intimate space for larger gatherings.
Sharing this first floor is a thoughtful primary bedroom enhanced by an eight-foot glass sliding door with beach views and direct access to a side yard with a built-in hammock and an outdoor shower. An en-suite ¾ bath is complete with a glass tiled shower, tiled wainscoting, radiant heated marble floor and a Woodmode vanity.
Four bedrooms on the second level should easily accommodate those inevitable house guests. This space also includes a new (2022) full bath with the same top-of-the-line appointments seen in the primary bath. Should you desire some recreational space, the semi-finished walk-out basement offers a home gym with rubber floors and mirrored walls, a laundry area, a shower room, and a ½ bath.
Additional highlights of this remarkable home include a three-season rear-entry porch with uninterrupted views of the pool, generator hook-up, irrigation system, new heating system, new Anderson 400 series windows, motorized storm shutters, a new roof (2018), new siding (2017), an alarm system and parking for 10+ cars.
This truly amazing home is being sold fully furnished and is in “turn-key-ready” condition. For more information, visit the open house today from 11 am — 1 pm. To schedule a private showing, contact Patrick Carey directly on his cell at 603-583-1000.
