Located a 1/4 mile off of Route 1, this contemporary colonial offers 2.96 acres in a private setting. The Kittery Town Forest abuts 5 Zakayla and provides 72 Acres of conservation forest and hiking trails. Casually elegant is the popular and correct term in which to describe this 3-4 bedroom/4 bath house. The dining room has an intimate feel and romantic propane fireplace. The living room sits off the breakfast nook and extends toward the open kitchen. Fire up the living room pellet stove to create an authentic Maine winter evening. A laundry room and office complete the first floor. Head up the grand staircase as two bedrooms, a large (24' X 14') finished bonus room and a generous primary-suite await you. The full and 99% finished walk-out basement was recently renovated with new electrical, walls, ceilings, flooring and 1/2 bath offering nearly 850 additional square feet. A perfect opportunity for extra living space while still providing unfinished rooms for extra storage and utilities. Just add your choice of heat to the newly created space. The ability is there to add an additional bedroom, the septic design is for 4 bedrooms. Whether in the cozy first floor office/flex room, the upstairs bonus room, or the comfortable space in the walk-out basement. Lots of opportunity to utilize the vast square footage and settle into an ideal town like Kittery, Maine. 5 Zakayla is close to all things Kittery - sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, coastal villages and shopping at the well-known Kittery Outlet Malls. Portsmouth, NH is minutes away and Kittery sits between Boston and Portland. Call your broker and set up a showing for your post-holiday weekend!
