Perfectly cited above the Ocean Avenue promenade on over 4 acres, 2 Poets Lane delivers a rare sense of seclusion and privacy with all the virtues of the desirable Cape Arundel enclave. Inside, masterful craftsmanship is evident at every turn. Box-beamed ceilings crown generously proportioned rooms, and intricate millwork lends warmth, character, and a timeless sense of quality throughout. Upon arrival, a classic porte-cochere and gleaming maplewood floors welcome you to this remarkable and inviting residence. The sun-drenched three sided living room offers a wood-fired hearth, custom bookcases, and leads through the French doors to a covered veranda overlooking the extensive gardens. The formal dining room blends into the kitchen, which has abundant prep space, storage space, a six burner gas range, and breakfast nook. Beyond that is the private octagonal office space with a half bath. Each of the home's three bedrooms is ensuite. The sprawling primary suite is a true retreat, with a plaster-finished vaulted ceiling enhanced by accent lighting that sets a serene, elegant tone. The oversized primary bath is equally impressive, with a deep soaking tub and ornate ceramic tile finishing the space with timeless artistry. Adjacent to the suite, a wet bar is perfectly placed for morning coffee, while a large sitting room opens onto a private balcony overlooking the wooded parcel. Beyond lies a formal dressing room with extensive built-ins. Nearby, the guest suite offers a pebble-finished bath, and streaming sunlight fills the oversized third suite. This property also offers a generously sized two car garage, updated utilities, and an elevator. The manicured grounds are shared with abundant wildlife, a testament to the serenity and peace of the setting. When the mood strikes, stroll down to Colony Beach for a morning walk along the sand, or head into Dock Square to enjoy the shops, galleries, restaurants, and working-harbor charm of Kennebunkport.
