Stunning landscaping, breathtaking sunsets, and a large screened porch with mahogany decking for winding down and taking it all in. This gem of a cottage sits high on Sentry Hill in historic York Harbor, one of southern Maine's most beautiful coastal villages, from where, during the Revolutionary War, colonists kept watch for British ships entering the harbor. Nestled at the end of a private way, this year-round residence would make an equally ideal summer retreat. Landscaped with patios, stone walkways, English country gardens, a meandering lawn, and views in winter of the town below and the ocean beyond, the house is just a short walk to Harbor Beach, the Cliff Walk and Fisherman's Walk, the Hartley Mason Reserve, Wiggly Bridge, and Steedman Woods, as well as to fine dining at two of the town's historic ocean-front inns. A 15-minute drive takes you to Portsmouth, Ogunquit, and the Kittery outlets. Step inside, and this sun-filled, fully renovated, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home features well-proportioned rooms, superb craftsmanship, a Kennebec Company custom-designed kitchen, a window seat with cedar-lined storage chests, meticulous tile work, and custom cabinetry throughout, creating a casual elegance that blends the historic and the contemporary seamlessly. Meticulously maintained, inside and out. Central-air-conditioning, professionally installed irrigation system, stainless steel appliances, fireplace, walk-in showers, and a factory-transferrable roof warranty with 39 years of coverage remaining.
