Set on 1.56 acres in River Woods, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom Colonial offers a rare blend of coastal Scarborough living and country privacy. Tucked along a quiet private way surrounded by woods and wildlife, it offers the peaceful feeling of rural Maine while keeping beaches, Portland, shopping, dining and I-95 within easy reach. Inside, hardwood floors, fresh finishes and thoughtful updates create a warm, polished home. The main level flows between a dedicated dining room, beautifully appointed kitchen with granite countertops, island seating and smart appliances, and an inviting living room centered around a propane fireplace. The elevated deck catches the sun throughout the day—perfect for morning coffee while deer wander by. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a private bath, walk-in and additional closet, plus a flexible sitting area ideal for an office, nursery or retreat. Three additional bedrooms include one with a walk-in closet offering potential for a future Jack-and-Jill bath. Second-floor laundry and radiant-heated bathroom floors add everyday comfort. The newly finished daylight lower level extends the living space with quality finishes, luxury flooring and a second propane fireplace. Sliding doors open to a private patio and brand-new saltwater hot tub beneath the deck. Outside, perennial gardens, stonework, granite accents and refreshed landscaping complement the wooded setting. Town-approved plans allow for expansion of the usable backyard, creating additional outdoor space and future possibilities. Quiet streets, frequent wildlife, a neighborhood creek with rope swings and seasonal traditions give River Woods its distinctive character, while multiple Scarborough beaches are approximately 8 miles away. With a setting this special and a rare opportunity to call River Woods home, don’t miss the only home currently available in this sought-after neighborhood. Schedule your private showing today.
