Nestled in Scarborough's popular Dunstan Crossing neighborhood, 9 Paulsen Drive combines casual elegance with the charm of a classic New England home. A sweet front porch welcomes you, and the moment you enter you are enveloped in natural light and high-end finishes. The foyer opens to an expansive main level highlighted by 9' ceilings and white oak flooring. The kitchen is a cook's dream with a massive island anchoring the space, classic white cabinetry, quartz counters and premium high end appliances. A butler's pantry - with loads of storage and a clever pass-through to the garage - is ideal for storage and entertaining prep. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a great room with a cozy gas fireplace and large windows with sunlight streaming in. Just off the living room is a fabulous three-season porch - the perfect place to enjoy indoor-outdoor living. The main level also offers a private study, perfect for remote work or a quiet reading room, a must-have mudroom with built-ins, and a convenient laundry room with utility sink. The second level has plenty of elbow room and a fabulous, flexible layout. The primary suite is a serene retreat with its generous walk-in closet, bath with dual vanities and a dual-head walk-in shower, and sauna. Two additional bedrooms with spacious closets share a full bath. With its wet bar and sitting area, the finished game room is a favorite for relaxing with a movie or entertaining and watching the big games with company. An additional flex room serves as a 4th bedroom, exercise room, or office space. The back yard is surprisingly private, with an elevated deck and a stone patio overlooking the woods. Green space and access to a walking trails are steps away, and you are minutes by car from miles of sandy beaches and just 15 minutes to downtown Portland. This like-new home and ideal location offer the best of all worlds!
