About 493 Main St
Elegance and location are the two words to best describe this property. Situated on a sloping, pastural 1/3 of an acre lot in the burgeoning South Eliot, this sunny and bright, 100+ year old Victorian is busting at the seams with charm. Designed to be perfectly equipped for entertaining, the flow and positive energy of this house is ever-present and noticeable as soon as you enter the front door. Loaded with well crafted, original details and moldings, this property also boasts modern upgrades that include a recently updated kitchen, custom built-ins and book shelves, propane heating stove and custom mantle and much more. To top it off, year round views of Spinney Creek are had through your oversized windows. A peaceful drive down Main Street will reveal an eclectic and diverse neighborhood with recently improved, older properties mixed with new, modern construction. A 5 minute drive to Kittery's famed Foreside or slightly longer to downtown Portsmouth NH means you're right in the thick of of it all but far enough away so that you can enjoy the privacy of your own oasis. This house is a timeless gem that awaits its new owners.
