Description of the Biddeford vacation house rental
Gracious 5-bedroom, 4400 square foot home perched on a hill crest overlooking rooftops of neighboring homes, and views of Saco River and Old Orchard Beach from cupola. Built in 1927 in the flamboyant Second Empire Style, this classic Victorian is adorned with Art Deco features like the Egyptian inspired exterior porch rails and geometric inlaid patterns in the hardwood floors. Step inside to a horizontal sweep of open space from the grand parlor, through a broad foyer with columns, through the living room with a brick fireplace, and into a huge sun room with built-in benches and sunken planters, 55 feet end to end. This home possesses distinctive original features in abundance including wonderful moldings, inlaid hardwood floors, crystal chandeliers, hardware, built-in cabinetry, and a wealth of French doors. The decor is antique and modern. 30 minutes drive to Portland or Ogunquit, 15 minutes Old Orchard Beach or Kennebunkport. Across the street is the scenic 30-acre Clifford Park.

Across the street is Clifford Park for viewing the White Mountains, the ocean with miles of gorgeous hiking/biking trails through granite quarries, and cascading waterfalls. Located 30 minutes from Portland or Ogunquit, 15 minutes from Old Orchard Beach or Kennebunkport, and six minutes from beaches of Fortunes Rocks or Biddeford Pool. The nature conservancy at Biddeford Pool is a terrific vantage point for offshore islands, a lighthouse, and the White Mountains hovering above Old Orchard Beach. The Saco River public boat launch is a mile away, as are kayak rentals for exploring the spectacular Saco River. Boston is a one-and-one-half-hour drive or can be reached via the Amtrak Downeaster. The downtown historic districts of Biddeford or Saco and the train terminal are a delightful ten-minute walk. A recent influx of development has spawned new cafes and ethnic restaurants. The “Museum on the Streets” self-guided walking tour provides background on area history and architecture.
