3 S Salt Creek WayKittery, ME 03904Price: $1,399,000

A refreshing departure from traditional New England architecture, this distinctive Kittery home embraces a European design sensibility where clean lines, natural materials, and an imaginative use of space create something truly individual. Expansive windows invite natural light throughout, while dramatic floating staircases with substantial solid wood treads connect the home's multiple levels while preserving an airy sense of openness. Beautiful maple floors bring warmth and continuity to the contemporary interior. The main living level brings together the kitchen, dining, and living areas in an easy, natural flow. An oversized stainless steel-topped island, crowned by a striking professional style range hood, anchors the kitchen, complemented by sleek cabinetry with frosted glass accents and cleverly integrated storage. The thoughtful combination of materials and streamlined finishes balances sophisticated design with everyday functionality. Four bedrooms and three contemporary bathrooms are arranged across the home's various levels. The primary suite opens to a private balcony overlooking the wooded surroundings and features a generous, beautifully organized walk-in closet with laundry. The finished lower level family room offers a comfortable retreat with the versatility to accommodate a work from home setting. Mahogany siding adds richness to the exterior, while a spacious rear deck extends the living space outdoors. Set well back from the road on a private, level lot near Spinney Creek, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with convenient access to downtown Portsmouth, Kittery's shops and restaurants, marinas, and major north/south routes. A whole house generator, storm shutters, and upgraded insulation add practical comfort to the home's distinctive design. For those who appreciate architecture beyond the conventional, 3 Salt Creek offers an appealing blend of European character, thoughtful functionality, and Seacoast convenience.
