Light, lovely and long-in-line, this extremely private Scarborough property brings together contemporary, cool design with the vibe of a cozy family home. It’s also perfectly located in walking distance to local schools and the Pleasant Hill Preserve, and a short drive to Maine’s best sandy beaches and downtown Portland.

A brick hearth anchors the central living space, where five skylights seemingly lift the ceilings to fully illuminate the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. A bank of windows open the space further with sliding doors leading to the incredible back porch spanning the length of the home. Above the garage are two potential workspaces and even more skylights.

The ground floor level—a walk-out basement with rustic white-washed wood and brick parquet—has two bedrooms, a bathroom and a wet bar. This is a secluded space for guests or older children and, if approved by the town, has potential to be an auxiliary dwelling unit.

From location and size to quality and design, this home offers much more than its list price.
