Single Family Detached Kennebunkport

Offered for the first time in more than a century, this storied summer cottage in Cape Porpoise presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a timeless piece of the Maine coast. Lovingly held by the same family for decades, the residence embodies the understated elegance and enduring charm of New England’s classic seaside retreats. Set on a remarkable .97-acre parcel with more than 300 feet of water frontage, the property commands sweeping harbor views and distant vistas that stretch to the iconic Goat Island Light, where spectacular sunrises unfold across the water each morning. Thoughtfully positioned to capture both privacy and panorama, the cottage enjoys a rare sense of seclusion along a quiet dead-end lane, just moments from the village center of Cape Porpoise and a short drive to Kennebunkport. Inside, the home evokes the romance of a bygone era, with four inviting bedrooms, beadboard-clad walls, and two full baths, including one appointed with a classic clawfoot tub. A warm and intimate kitchen flows into sunlit sitting and dining spaces designed to frame the ever-changing coastal scenery, while expansive wraparound porches invite long summer afternoons overlooking the harbor. Whether preserved and restored as a legacy family compound or reimagined for a new chapter, the property offers extraordinary potential. The generous lot, substantial road frontage, and detached garage present ample opportunity for thoughtful expansion or redevelopment, all within one of coastal Maine’s most treasured enclaves. Rarely does a waterfront offering of such provenance, scale, and possibility come to market. This is a property to be cherished for generations to come.
