Perched on a knoll, 1 mile from the fishing village of Cape Porpoise and 1.5 miles from Kennebunkport Dock Square, sits a beautifully restored 1797 historic gem. Nestled privately on close to 3 acres alongside tall blueberry bushes, apple and pear trees, lush perennials and a peaceful pond sits the magnificent 1797 home and detached working barn with home office above. The home boasts wide wooden floorboards, original ceiling beams & doors, and 3 staircases, all which are a part of the charm of this antique, four- bedroom home which is move-in ready. Enjoy coffee in its beautiful sunporch overlooking the floral grounds. Curl up with a good book in front of the wood paneled den fireplace. Take a walk out to the pond, passing a shaded bluestone patio and wooden bridge. Head to the barn for your morning eggs! And work from home in the fabulous office located above the barn. Its well-proportioned rooms are brimming with original character. It's uniqueness and spaciousness offers a relaxed lifestyle. It is a magnificent and peaceful retreat located within a short bike ride of Kennebunkport shops, restaurants and beaches.
