Property Description:

Nestled in a private 1.1-acre lot in a much-coveted neighborhood just a half mile from The Port, this beautiful and historic Victorian home offers the perfect blend of timeless elegance and contemporary convenience. The property, fronted by an extensive stone wall and accessed by a circular driveway ringed with light stanchions, encompasses several mature perennial gardens worthy of a spot on the local Garden Tour. The home boasts over 5,000 square feet of living space and at its heart is a grand Great Room with a built-in Entertainment Center (with a multi-room sound system), a wood-burning fireplace with decorative hearth, and a coffered ceiling. The Great Room flows seamlessly into a sunroom with radiant flooring and walls of windows bringing the outdoors in. A welcoming hardscaped patio and a rear deck (with pergola) extend from the sunroom, ideal for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Also on the first floor is a cozy library with built-in bookshelves, a tiled fireplace and propane gas-fired stove; a wainscoted dining room with muralled walls (depicting various Kennebunkport locales), built-in China closet, unique rustic chandelier, shuttered Palladian window, stained glass doors, with sliders opening to a side deck; and a chef’s kitchen equipped with stainless steel countertops, updated appliances, and a sunny breakfast nook. The second floor has three full bathrooms and five bedrooms, including a muralled bedroom; a front suite with a private balconette and a spacious porte cochere; and a luxurious primary suite, accessible via its own staircase and featuring a newly-renovated bath, a dry sauna, and two walk-in closets – the ultimate in comfort and relaxation. A two-bay garage, two cellars, and a tool shed provide ample storage. A truly remarkable property in an unbeatable location!
