45 Centennial St Portland, ME 04108

Nestled just steps from the sandy shores of Centennial Beach on the beloved north end of Peaks Island, 45 Centennial Street is the kind of property that makes you wonder why you ever lived anywhere else. Rarely does a single address on this island provide so much of what people spend years searching for, fully furnished and ready for your first summer morning on the bay. This distinctive year-round 1900 New Englander has been lovingly updated with rich wood floors, granite kitchen with island, open living and dining, three bedrooms including a classic island bunkroom, renovated bathroom and heat pumps for year-round comfort. Just arrive and begin your island life. The second floor balcony is where the magic happens. Step outside with your morning coffee and watch the sunrise over Diamond Passage and Casco Bay while the rest of the world is still asleep. Stargaze at night with a glass of wine as the day slips peacefully into the sea. Step outside and breathe in the sweet salt air, take a morning swim, launch a kayak, cast a line, watch the boats drift by or join them, mooring access available by application through the Portland Harbormaster. The ferry terminal and village center are ten minutes away, tennis, boating, lobster rolls and live music await. For the artist, the woodworker, the dreamer, a working shed and studio shed round out the main property. And then there is the land. Conveyed with the home is a rare separately deeded 6,610 SF island lot with public water, sewer, a shed and patio in place. Private green space, summer gatherings, future guest cottage or hold as a finite island investment; land like this does not become available twice. Watch the Fourth of July fireworks light up the harbor. Molten gold and pink sunsets. Bare feet on a Tuesday morning. 45 Centennial Street comes fully furnished, move-in ready. This is Peaks Island at its very finest.
