The iconic Maine home once owned by Hollywood golden-age star Bette Davis has been listed for sale at an astonishing £3.3 million. Nestled in the picturesque coastal town of Cape Elizabeth, the property boasts panoramic ocean views and a rich cinematic legacy.
A Slice of Hollywood History
Built in 1955, the sprawling 4,500-square-foot residence served as Davis's summer retreat during the height of her career. The screen siren, known for classics like All About Eve and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, cherished the property for its privacy and stunning natural surroundings.
Luxury Meets New England Charm
The four-bedroom home features:
- Floor-to-ceiling windows framing Atlantic vistas
- A chef's kitchen with premium appliances
- Expansive decks perfect for entertaining
- Original mid-century architectural details
- Lush, professionally landscaped grounds
Current owners have meticulously preserved the home's character while updating systems and amenities for modern living.
Why This Listing Stands Out
"Celebrity-owned properties in this condition are exceptionally rare," explains listing agent Sarah Wilkinson. "The combination of historical significance, architectural integrity, and that million-dollar view creates a truly unique opportunity."
The home sits on 1.3 acres of prime coastal real estate, just minutes from Portland's vibrant arts and dining scene yet offering complete seclusion.
Market Outlook
The luxury property market in coastal Maine remains robust, with high demand for distinctive homes. This listing is expected to attract both celebrity home collectors and discerning buyers seeking a one-of-a-kind retreat.
Viewings are by appointment only, with the property expected to generate significant interest from domestic and international buyers alike.
