Property Description
Cape's Edge, is set on a rocky promontory where Casco Bay meets the mouth of Portland Harbor, Cape's Edge is a rare seaside retreat perched, quite literally, at the water's edge, where the tide rises close enough to touch the foundation. First built in 1920 and thoughtfully expanded for modern living, this cottage-rooted home commands panoramic views across the bay to Maine's iconic lighthouses, historic Fort Gorges, and the passing ships of the working channel. A mature landscaped buffer lends uncommon privacy, letting the ocean take center stage. The home settles gracefully into its landscaping and setting, so completely of its place that stepping through the door feels like arriving at an oceanside bungalow in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Inside, an open plan gathers a chef's kitchen and generous dining area, while a sunroom wrapped in windows draws the ocean and light indoors. The sunken living room, warmed by a gas fireplace, frames the water beyond. The first-floor primary opens to easterly sunrises and the gardens; a second main-level bedroom and a third upstairs, living like a private suite with its own roof top deck, provides flexible, comfortable space. Outside, an oceanside stone terrace sets the stage for entertaining, while the rooftop deck rises to truly commanding views and hours of open sun. Rarest of all along this coast is the pairing the site affords: a home perched high on rock and ledge, yet with a sandy beach just beside it, reached by the property's own private path. An attached two-car garage, mudroom, and pantry answer the practicalities of year-round living. As part of the Danforth Cove community, residents also enjoy tennis, all just minutes from South Portland's shops and restaurants and the culture of downtown Portland. Sited at the very edge of Cape Elizabeth, Cape's Edge is a singular place to call home on the Maine coast.
