2 Cardinal Lane

Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107

Sited on a private road in one of Cape Elizabeth's most popular neighborhoods, 2 Cardinal Lane combines casual elegance with the charm of a classic, shingled Maine cottage. From the moment you first enter you are enveloped in architectural design details - nickel gap wainscot, built-ins and radiant-heated floors welcome you in the mudroom. Just off the entry is a powder room with maps of the Maine coast gracing the walls, and an oval window as a nod to a ship's porthole. The kitchen is a cook's dream with a massive island anchoring the space. There's custom cabinetry, high end appliances and a sweet breakfast area, but more than that is the butler's pantry - the icing on the ''kitchen cake'' - with loads of custom storage, a farmhouse sink, a second dishwasher and marble counters. The kitchen flows seamlessly into an informal dining area large enough to host holiday gatherings, and a casual great room with a gorgeous stone fireplace, surrounding built-ins and walls of windows with sunlight streaming in. The first floor also enjoys a fabulous private den with hardwood floors, access to the back yard and a back staircase. Upstairs you'll find plenty of elbow room. The second floor landing can be utilized as a study area, or one can add doors and create a private office. The primary suite is privately located and has hardwood floors, a bath with lots of counter space and a fabulous soaking tub, and walk-in closets. Four additional bedrooms are upstairs, with one enjoying its own sitting area. Two full baths service the guest rooms, and a second floor laundry room rounds out the upper level. The back yard is a delightful oasis, with a deck leading to an in-ground pool, beautiful hardscaping and a high fence creating a private paradise. The pool house is perfect for a quick change of clothes or casual hang out space, and can be fully finished as a poolside retreat. Cardinal Lane abuts the Cross Hill neighborhood, which includes green space and access to a trail system.
