The observation level atop this 4,633-square-foot mansion overlooking the rocky coast of Maine seems like a nod to, or perhaps competition for, the lighthouse that made this peninsula famous.

For $6,975,000, the next homeowner at 4 Nubble Point in York, Maine, can gaze from the Atlantic to Mount Agamenticus when standing on the roof-level balcony, just steps away from a wet bar. The mansion is one mile from Nubble Light, the peninsula’s 1879 lighthouse.

“It’s like being on top of the world,” Margaret Mitchell, the listing agent and broker at Coldwell Banker Yorke Realty, said of the home’s observation level.

The views aren’t just limited to the one-of-a-kind deck of the four-bedroom home, which also has 4 full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, an apartment, and a 0.45-acre lot.

Ocean-facing windows that a car could probably fit through make up the living room’s walls. In addition to a deck that stretches around the home’s main floor, the primary suite and the private apartment feature their own balconies overlooking the sea.

The home sits on a rocky cliff, just like many others in York, Maine, Mitchell said. The concrete-and-steel home faces north, so the homeowner can look up the coast to the town of Kennebunkport.

The concrete floors have radiant heat, she said. “So on the one hand, you have this kind of awe-inspiring crash of waves, but at the same time, you know, you’re literally being warmed by the house.”

Through the front door, one sees the ocean through those massive windows that stretch up the walls of the living room. The first floor is open: The living room, which has a concrete fireplace, flows into an informal dining area and the kitchen.

The kitchen contains the appliances one might look for in a $7 million home, including a Sub-Zero fridge, Cove dishwasher, a double oven, and a Wolf induction cooktop.

“I am finding high-end buyers prefer induction,” Mitchell said. “Gas is out. Induction is in.”

Up cantilevered stairs, which include a landing of foggy glass, the next floor is all about the primary suite, which includes a walk-in closet that’s approximately the size of a box truck.

A walkthrough shower anchors the primary suite bathroom, which also features a sauna.

The primary suite sits a floor below the observation level, where a sitting room opens up to two balconies: a smaller facing Nubble Point’s interior and a larger, semicircular one that looks toward the ocean and follows the Maine coastline.

Two bedroom suites sit on the home’s lowest floor, which also features an exercise room. The property also comes with a private one-bedroom apartment above its three-car garage.

The Maine luxury home, designed by Fiorentino Group Architects of Portsmouth, N.H., will very likely be someone’s second, third, or fourth home, Mitchell said.

“It’s special,” Mitchell said, “so it is getting attention because there’s nothing else like it in this area.”
