LOCATION
NOTES
The outdoor living space of the home is spectacular. We added a VERY large oversized deck on the back of the house (off the kitchen) to feature outdoor dining space and lounge furniture. We have stunningly beautiful and very comfortable lounge seating for 10++. 2 sofas, 4 oversized chairs and 2 very large ottomans. We also have 2 large dining tables and oversized/comfortable dining chairs for 12 that can be added to the lounge area for plenty of room for large groups to gather comfortably. The dining chairs are very oversized and comfortable and can be pulled into the lounge area to seat 22 guests comfortably (2 sofas, 16 large/comfy chairs and 2 ottomans when the dining chairs are pulled into the lounge area).
In addition to the deck, there is a large stone patio with Adirondack chairs encircling a very large custom-built propane fire pit with a plumbed gas line, so you never run out of propane.
A brand new very large and very high-quality 7-seat hot tub is located on a small first floor deck platform that is adjacent to the entry to the walk-out basement for the convenience of being able to walk almost directly into the new large full bathroom after using the hot tub.
There is also an outdoor shower and huge yard areas for kids to run and play.
A new in-ground heated swimming pool is surrounded by gorgeous hardscaping and landscaping. The pool will be open May 15th through October 15th.
Also included with the rental of the home for the summer 2021 season will be beach cruisers with baskets for riding to the beach or the adorable Higgins Beach market, just down the street (a 3-minute walk from the house) or the beach, coolers, beach chairs, beach toys, beach towels and everything you will need for a day at the beach or sunset picnics at beautiful Higgins Beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Maine.
