Sweet 2-story 1910 Bungalow near Portland, Beaches
Description
This lovely, 2-story Sears-Roebuck 1910 bungalow with its own entrance has sea breezes in summer and fireside coziness in winter. Borrow bikes to explore nearby Town Landing beach, Audubon, and forest trails. Walk three blocks to a local bakery for coffee. The upstairs bedroom with a king bed looks out on white pines. Furnishings have been updated, but the original woodwork is untouched. Just 4 miles up the coast from Portland, it's a wonderful base for exploring Maine's towns and beaches. The space This is an original Bungalow guest house that is situated side by side with the owner's home, but has its own separate entrance and deck. It has carefully been updated to be comfortable, while still preserving the character of the historical home. The bedroom has a cozy reading nook with a rocking chair by an electric woodstove. You will sleep comfortably in the king cast-iron bed, new hybrid mattress, and Pottery Barn Belgian flax duvet-cover. The upstairs bathroom has an antique claw-foot tub with modern faucet/shower-head. The kitchen, with its cute antique enamel dining table, has everything you need. (The owner’s mom ate at the enamel table as a child in the 1940’s!) It has supplies from oils and spices and baking essentials to quality coffee and Stash tea selections. There is also a classic Nespresso machine with espresso pods, and a small milk frother. Note that the oven and the fridge are 3/4 size. The living room has a couch and two chairs, an electric fireplace with mantle, a television with roku/smart tv, and some fun features like a Victrola record player and a working antique radio. The guest house also has exercise and yoga supplies and an exercise bike. For a fun outing, the mudroom holds a cute wicker picnic basket with complete china settings for two, a picnic blanket, and a frisbee. There are two 7-speed cruiser bikes that are dedicated to guests staying here (see bike photo). The deck under the 100-year-old lilac tree is private, with deck furniture, Weber charcoal grill, and a propane firepit table to relax around. The owners live next door, and are happy to help if you find you need something. Guest access The guest home has a private entrance and mudroom, and parking in a shared driveway. The entrance, via entry code, is off its own small deck with a Weber charcoal grill, chairs, and propane fire table. The entire guest house is for use of the airbnb rental. (Note that the larger deck, the hot tub, and the back yard, all of which are not in view of the apartment or its private deck, are not included in the rental and are used by the owners. Thanks!) Other things to note We do own two friendly dogs that occasionally are in the yard. (There is an electric fence.) If you are a dog-lover, however, we have a friendly girl (Faeble) and mellow older boy (Mosey) rescues. The dogs are sometimes out in the yard or driveway. Feel free to say hi to them if you'd like. * Please note, this is a 1910 bungalow and as such does not have very high upstairs ceilings. Especially for the shower in the clawfoot tub, the ceiling might not be high enough for exceptionally tall people.
