Maison Unifamiliale Détachée York

Tucked away on 3.16 private acres in the heart of Cape Neddick, 86 Josiah Norton Road is a rare offering that combines the warmth of a thoughtfully designed ranch home with the versatility of a full in-law apartment, all wrapped in a beautifully wooded, well-landscaped setting just minutes from York’s public beaches and the Maine Turnpike.
Built in 1996, the main residence welcomes you with a classic covered front porch and delivers 2,486 square feet of single-level living filled with character. The eat-in kitchen offers a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and a butcher block island. The adjoining dining room opens to a screened porch with a striking green beadboard ceiling, perfect for three-season entertaining. The spacious family room anchors the living area with soaring cathedral ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves, and rich hardwood floors that flow throughout. Three bedrooms and three full bathrooms round out the first floor, including a serene primary suite, while the full unfinished basement with both interior and bulkhead access offers tremendous storage or future expansion potential.
A second detached dwelling, ideal as an in-law suite, guest cottage, or income-producing unit, adds exceptional flexibility rare to find at this price point. The property also includes a handsome three-bay detached garage, a shed, and a garden area, all set on rolling, wooded grounds with a paved driveway and ample parking.
Whether you’re seeking a multigenerational compound, a home with room to roam, or simply a peaceful retreat within easy reach of everything coastal Maine has to offer, this property delivers it all.
