I have lived in Cape Elizabeth Maine for many years and after selling my very old house on a beach, I moved to this sweet little neighborhood called Shore Acres on Trundy Point just down the road in 2004. I bought an old 1959 ranch house and renovated it in a mid-century modern style. New open floor plan, George Nelson lighting and furnished with a collection of mid century modern furniture. Needing a new project, I sold that house and bought this old rundown 1958 ranch (above) across the street. A real "fixer upper"!!! Another mid-century modern renovation with Eichler triangular windows, retro atomic lighting fixtures and a wonderful modern style garden/courtyard viewed from every window in the house. I sold the house a couple of weeks ago to a wonderful family who wanted a contemporary home. After much negotiation, we settled on a price and it is now theirs. This ends another chapter in my life as I am already into the next one—Bali Indonesia and downtown Portland Maine.

What a beautiful house to have to leave behind! Lovely drawing, and best of luck with the next stage of your journey. Bali and Portland, I can't pretend I'm not a little (a lot) jealous!
I love the house and your picture of it. It must be difficult to part with these wonderful houses
Absolutely love the way you did the tree trunk and the leaves. Wonderful!
I would love to see the inside of these houses you've renovated! Your drawing is lovely. Bali and Portland - how wonderful! Best wishes on your new venture. nancy
