Experience the best of nature and convenience in this stunning passive solar home, nestled on 1.6 private acres along the Fore River Estuary. Surrounded by abundant wildlife and directly across from Capisic Pond Park and Portland Trails, this sun-filled retreat feels like a peaceful escape-yet it's just minutes from downtown Portland, the Old Port, I-295, the Maine Mall, and the airport. The main level features a bright, open layout with a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, primary bedroom, and a sunny four-season room. The lower level adds even more flexible living space with a large family room featuring built-ins and a high-efficiency Woodstock soapstone woodstove, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, and a second sunroom that opens to an expansive 36-foot deck with breathtaking views of the estuary. Additional highlights include a generous mudroom entry, attached two-car garage, and a separate studio-perfect for a home office, creative space, or private retreat. Modern upgrades include energy-efficient heat pumps and a whole-house generator for year-round comfort and peace of mind. If you're looking for a truly unique home where nature meets modern living, this is your opportunity.
