SCARBOROUGH – Walk to Higgins Beach? Yes – there’s a path through the woods. Walk to Scarborough Beach? Only a little farther in the opposite direction, past the Harmon family’s farm stand and down Black Point Road. And even closer, just behind this home’s gorgeous, 300-foot sweep of back lawn, there’s a short, secret path to a secluded rockbound spot with magnificent southeast views far out over the Atlantic.

Inhabiting its own sweet, almost-three-acre setting, here is an immaculate garrison, a one-owner home that has been scrupulously maintained and regularly updated. Among the newer features is a daylight, lower-level guest/in-law (or even rental) suite, complete with bath, kitchenette, and spacious bedroom/sitting room – 700 finished square feet altogether, with the bonus of a sunny patio outside through full-view doors.

Sun-filled, too, are both stories above. The family room/den, which has a woodstove on a brick hearth, was recently expanded with a cathedral ceiling, and twin skylights that enhance the gleam of the new, teak floor. Full-view doors open to an elevated, 15-foot-by-32-foot deck – wonderful for entertaining. Most flooring on this level is oak, as in the large formal dining room with chair rails, and in the bright kitchen, which has been updated with granite counters and cherry cabinetry, and includes a charming dining area by the bay window.

The front-to-back living room is off the side hall, and has a brick, wood-burning fireplace. Laundry, handily sited in the big mudroom that connects to the garage, completes the first floor.
On the carpeted upstairs level, two good-sized bedrooms are front-and-back at one end; have double closets, and are served by a central, full bath. In the south wing, two bedrooms were combined to form an L-shaped master bedroom/sitting-dressing room with multiple closets. One highlight of the master bath is its huge Kohler jet tub.

In addition to basement utility rooms (heat is five-zone) there is a full storage attic, with pulldown, above the oversized garage with workshop. Gardeners especially will appreciate the big shed and its loft.
