3 Hotel Avenue

This distinctive York home brings history and exquisite craftsmanship together for a four-season modern coastal lifestyle that fully embraces the surrounding seaside. Tucked away in exclusive Barn Point, this serene property offers the rare luxury of an effortless, highly walkable beach lifestyle. You can leave the car behind and take a short walk to Cape Neddick Beach or head less than a mile in the other direction to Short Sands Beach and vibrant downtown York for local dining and shops. Even closer is your deeded access to a private pebble beach right at your doorstep. The home is one of only a handful designed and built by Ron Bracy, the premier woodworking artist celebrated for the Ships Cellar Pub at the York Harbor Inn. Inspired by the clean lines of a ship interior, the pristine residence features stunning maritime details throughout, including porthole windows, custom cherry, maple, and mahogany woodwork, beautiful wood inlays, a ship-inspired mahogany deck, and a secret fourth-level custom wood overlook room perfect for watching the sunrise. The exterior captures historic New England charm with expansive decks, brick patios, and enchanting gardens designed to maximize the spectacular bold ocean views and fresh sea air. The thoughtful interior layout includes a first level with two bedrooms, a full bath, a laundry room, and a living area with a custom hearth. The second level serves as the heart of the home, featuring a stunning open kitchen, dining, and living area that frame breathtaking ocean panoramas and open directly to the decks, alongside a serene primary suite with a private balcony. The third level provides an ideal flexible bonus area for guests or a home office. Offering the perfect blend of coastal tranquility, artistic mastery, and unbeatable walkability, this property is a truly one of a kind masterpiece home by the sea.
