Designed by architect Peter Wiles and the homeowner, 61 Greely Road is a milestone in Maine’s rich architectural legacy. Tracing the lines of the classic New England cape, this home distills its historic inspiration to its very essence. The homeowner was inspired to pull the forms apart again to create three seemingly separate structures—
and a new paradigm for Maine Modern.
Designed from the outside in, this 3,852±sf home was built to capture sweeping views of the 5.65 acre property—a vista of wide, open meadows adjacent to conservation land. Partially hidden from the road, the house unfolds itself in stages as you approach from the drive, revealing fresh angles and breathtaking views. Each room is filled with light and open to a changing landscape.
A select palette of materials—metal roofing, wide plank tongue-and-groove siding, polished concrete, maple floors, steel fixtures—convey simplicity, luxury and a truly timeless style. The clean, crisp look of hardwood and cement floors is warmed by radiant heat. With its central air conditioning, cutting edge air exchange and impeccable construction, allergy sufferers will breathe easy in this home.
The smart floor plan configures itself around your lifestyle. Enjoy all four bedrooms, use one as a home office or take advantage of the thoughtful framing that allows one bedroom to be easily split in two. Three full and one half baths (with plumbing for another in the large, sunlit basement) make this home ideal for entertaining guests or giving everyone in the family their personal space.
The dramatic 18 ft. cathedral ceiling in the great room is balanced by more intimate lines in the open kitchen and dining area. Skylights and two fireplaces add even more warmth and light, while surround sound creates delightful ambience. The upstairs master suite is a serene and peaceful oasis, while the downstairs family room and additional bedroom wings give everyone room to relax or play. The back patio floats stone panes on gravel, mirroring the divided light windows and staggered roof lines of the house. The two-car garage nestles close to the home with the easy functional charm of an antique barn.
61 Greely Road both fits within Yarmouth Village’s historic charm, and stands apart. A perfect balance of form and function, a labor of love—and a home of true distinction.
