This stunning extended cape set on 1.18 acres offers immense privacy and is only a 5-minute walk to Kittery Foreside. Boasting massive curb appeal and situated well back from the road, an expansive circular driveway completes the estate-type approach. This artist's home has been lovingly maintained and features magnificent faux finishes, ceiling paintings, ornate hand-made pediments, corbels, and architectural detailing throughout including multiple stained-glass inserts and more. Built-ins are found in almost every room. Dine in impressive fashion under an Italianesque coffered ceiling that must be seen to be fully appreciated with elegant overhead lighting. Enjoy the two-way wood burning fireplace that separates the dining room and the ultra-elegant sunken living room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the tree lined side yard. The chef's kitchen is sure to inspire and diners will enjoy the custom build-in seating area in the generous sized galley kitchen with a wall of floor to ceiling storage cupboards. A beach-house themed screened-in porch with cool tidal river breezes, an in-home office space, and elegantly painted half bath with ornate ceiling detail complete the first level. In the spacious master bedroom on the second level, there are two skylights which provide ocean air and wonderful natural light. The en-suite bathroom has Jacuzzi tub and modern fixtures set in a custom tile in a seaside theme. The level is complete by two guest bedrooms.
