23 Lovett St

A sleeper street on the south end of Lincolnville, if the fragrance of jasmine and gardenias doesn't get your attention, I assure you this wonderful house with a pool and abundance of outdoor living space will do so. A riot of color in the front garden complements the soft yellow of the house and provides nice privacy for the front porch. Stop a minute to take in the classic exterior detail and then come inside to fall in love. The living room enjoys diffused natural light streaming in through tall windows and the circular flow on the first floor makes daily life and party time equally easy. Exceptionally efficient, the kitchen is thoughtfully laid out so 2 people can work together to create memorable meals or just a quick bite of breakfast. The sparkling water of the pool casts light prisms through all the windows in the adjacent family room which is the heart of the house for the people who live here. Opening to the screened porch, this will be your year round outdoor dining room surrounded by a perpetually lush tropical garden. The dining room has and will again host big parties with after dinner drinks taken out by the pool. A short hall leading to the stairway has a 3/4 bathroom and large storage closet under the stair. At the foot of the steps is a mini office adjacent to the front door - perfect for hanging sunhats, keys and sorting the mail. At the top, a large loft is presently used as an office but it's up to you to choose how to use it. Main bedroom is in the northeast corner - a generous space with 4 windows, seating area and a wall of storage. 2nd bedroom is in the northwest corner, next door to a 1/2 bath. The full bath with a brilliant tub and shower design also has the washer/dryer closet and a door to the upstairs porch and guest/in-law suite. Friends and family have loved this treetop studio apartment with a full-sized bedroom, gateleg table for reading, micro kitchenette and bathroom. Guests enjoy the porch overlooking the pool and gardens and privacy abounds for everyone.
