Set on 1.4 acres in Eliot and located within the well-regarded Marshwood School District, this thoughtfully designed Cape offers space, flexibility, and efficiency just minutes from Route 95, Kittery Foreside, and Portsmouth. Set back from the road, the property provides privacy and a quiet, tranquil setting, with a level backyard ideal for outdoor enjoyment or entertaining. A full-length farmer's porch leads into a grand foyer with soaring ceilings and an open staircase. The first floor offers excellent versatility with a spacious room for a home office, den, or potential bedroom, along with a formal dining room, first-floor laundry, and a convenient half bath. The eat-in kitchen with new propane stove flows into a central hub workspace with ample cabinetry and opens to a dramatic great room with 18-foot ceilings and abundant natural light. Two sets of sliders lead to an expansive AZEK deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary suite with walk-in closet, jacuzzi tub, and separate shower, plus a second full bath. The walk-out lower level includes approximately 322 sq ft of finished space with a fireplace and offers potential for extended living or guest space, with plumbing in place for a future full bath. Energy-efficient features include geothermal heating and cooling, solar electric, and solar hot water for long-term savings and low-maintenance living. Additional highlights include cedar clapboard siding, architectural shingles, updated flooring, and a repaved driveway. Ideally located near beaches, recreation, and Portsmouth's dining and shopping.
