About This Home
Embrace the coastal lifestyle with deeded access to the Cousins River. Privately situated on over two acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Yarmouth's coveted Heron Cove neighborhood, this exceptional Colonial is surrounded by beautiful perennial gardens, open fields, and mature woods, offering a rare sense of privacy, tranquility and coastal living. Launch a kayak, explore the coastline, hike the nearby Spear Farm Estuary Preserve, or enjoy quick access to two premier Southern Maine boatyards and Casco Bay. Life in Heron Cove is defined by simple pleasures--from children biking to and from school along Bayview Street to peaceful evening walks with the dog on the neighborhood's quiet roads. Designed to bring people together, the custom kitchen pairs bespoke cabinetry with honed granite countertops, a generous center island, and a butler's pantry. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, family room with a gas fireplace, and living room anchored by a Vermont Castings wood stove with a custom granite surround. A vaulted sunroom with skylights overlooks the private backyard and opens to the Meranti mahogany deck, stone patio, and beautifully landscaped grounds. The primary suite features a dressing area, two walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a clawfoot tub and oversized glass shower. Three additional bedrooms, including a second ensuite with a sitting area, a dedicated home office with built-ins, second-floor laundry, and a beautifully appointed bath provide exceptional flexibility. The finished lower level includes a full bath, exercise room, recreation area, workshop, and abundant storage. Meticulously maintained and extensively updated inside and out with fresh paint, lighting, flooring, enhanced landscaping, and expanded outdoor living spaces. This is the one you've been waiting for -- a truly special home that perfectly captures the heart and soul of coastal Maine living.
