Situated on nearly two acres, and perimetered by towering evergreens, stone walls and a babbling brook, this estate-like home is very private - yet only a ten minute drive to downtown Portland and of course close to all the amenities Cape Elizabeth has to offer. Cape Elizabeth is well known for it's excellent schools, beautiful beaches and outdoor activities.
Contemporary in design, yet timeless in distinctive detail, 8 Alexander Drive offers an inspiring display of all things that make a home unique, special and above all personal.
Open and Inviting Layout
An open and inviting layout makes this home perfect for family living and entertaining. Vaulted ceilings and skylights, an oversized loft and an inspired interior design maximize sunlight and moonlight creating an atmosphere of maximum illumination.
The sunken great room features recently installed Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, a woodburning stove, impressive built-in bookcases and large windows. A second living area, overlooking the gardens at the front of the home, is highlighted by graceful windows, a vaulted ceiling and exclusive title work on the floor and the walls.
Designer Kitchen
The stunning kitchen, which was featured in a national design magazine, opens to the great room and showcases elegant and unexpected fashionable details including stone and brass tiles, stainless steel appliances, granite counters and a spacious breakfast area. There is easy access to the two-tiered deck that overlooks the backyard, which is framed by an old stone fence that consists of sizable weathered boulders.
Two Master Suites
A spacious first floor bedroom with walk in closet and attached bath can be used as a master suite, a guest room or a home office. There is also a private deck, which is rare. Like the rest of the home, the tile found in the bath room is imported, special and distinctive.
Additional Features:
The home also features the ultimate daylight basement. Currently it serves several uses, including a home gym, billiard room and entertaining/video area. The storage space is remarkable - there is even room (and access) for a car.
The garage is oversized with a vaulted ceiling. The potential to expand to three cars is a distinct possibility.
On-Going Investment:
Over the years the owners have continually invested in and improved the home. Custom flooring, tile, lighting and a remodeled kitchen are among the upgrades, valued at over $130,000 during their ownership.
