''The Star of the Sea'' is one of those special properties, rich with history, meticulously renovated and situated on one of the most breathtaking lots on all of Peaks Island. Lovingly restored and improved, this Victorian embodies the charm of classic New England architecture, but provides the modern conveniences of today. Every window boasts impressive views of Casco Bay and because of its position on the lot, there are views of the Portland skyline, Cushing Island and Fort Gorges as well. Embrace the vibrant local community and enjoy easy access to island amenities. Within walking distance of the ferry, restaurants and shops makes the transition to island living a breeze. Located across the road from Sandy Beach, waterfront activities are easy to enjoy as well. Launch a kayak, paddle board or take a swim to Catnip Island just a short ways away. After enjoying all that Peaks Island has to offer, enjoy the comfort and calmness inside ''The Star of the Sea.'' The first floor provides a gorgeous place to entertain, with a modern kitchen, dining room with built-ins and multiple living spaces for guests to unwind. On sunny days spend hours reading, bird watching and relaxing on the commanding front porch. The home is year round and has a cozy fireplace to curl up in front of and watch the snow blanket the island in winter months. A den with custom bookcases could easily be transformed into a first floor bedroom, and a full bath with radiant heat rounds out the first floor. Upstairs are 4 large bedrooms providing ample space for family and guests. Each bedroom has beautiful hardwood floors and stunning ocean views. The exterior of the home features new composite siding, providing both durability and curb appeal. Complemented by meticulously crafted rock walls and beautiful plantings that enhance the overall charm of the house. This house truly lives up to its name and shines brightly on the Maine coast!
