About this House
Tucked into a quiet Eliot neighborhood just moments from the water, this adorable two-bedroom Cape blends classic New England charm with thoughtful, top-to-bottom updates all with easy access to Kittery, Portsmouth, and Route 95.
Inside, the renovation shines. A true chef's kitchen anchors the home, featuring crisp quartz countertops, upgraded finishes, and a layout designed for both everyday living and easy entertaining. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, paired with updated lighting that adds a modern, cohesive feel.
The lower level has been water-locked and offers exceptional utility including abundant storage, a cedar closet, washer and dryer, and a dedicated workshop space. A one-car garage provides covered parking, complemented by a driveway with additional off-street parking.
Outside, the yard is as charming as the home itself: manageable, inviting, and complete with a storage shed for tools, gear, or hobbies. Pet-friendly and move-in ready, this home offers comfort, convenience, and peace of mind in one of Eliot's most appealing settings.
