Property Description

Some homes provide a place to stay. Others become the place everyone wants to gather. Perched on the cherished north end of Peaks Island, just moments from the shoreline of Casco Bay, 45 Centennial Street is one of those rare places where the pace slows, memories are made and every season brings something worth looking forward to. Mornings begin with coffee on the second-floor balcony as the sun rises over the bay. Days are spent exploring the water or wandering quiet island roads. Evenings end beneath brilliant stars, the harbor replacing the noise of everyday life. Originally built in 1900 and thoughtfully updated, this year-round New Englander blends historic charm with contemporary comfort. Rich wood floors, a granite kitchen, open living and dining spaces, inviting bedrooms including a classic bunkroom, an updated bath and efficient heat pumps create a home that is as comfortable in January as it is during the height of summer. Outside, a workshop shed opens up possibilities for artists, makers, remote work, storage or weekend projects. Mooring opportunities are available by application through the Portland Harbormaster, while nearby kayaking, boating and fishing make the water an extension of your backyard. Minutes bring you to the ferry, local cafés, lobster rolls, tennis courts, live music and the welcoming village that has made Peaks Island one of Maine's most treasured communities. Offered fully furnished, 45 Centennial Street isn't simply move-in ready, it's ready to be lived in from the moment you arrive. Whether you're searching for a year-round home, a seasonal retreat or a gathering place for the people who matter most, see what island living feels like from the inside.
