Own a piece of Kennebunk history. Built circa 1750, this barn was originally attached to a neighboring Summer Street home before being separated. Converted into a four-bedroom residence in 1972, it was purchased by the current owners 17 years ago. They gutted the interior to the exterior walls, retaining the original post-and-beam supports and some flooring, then thoughtfully rebuilt the home with top-quality materials. Improvements included new windows, insulation, wiring, plumbing, sheetrock, and custom finishes—all while preserving its historic character and charm. The 1,672-square-foot first floor includes an entry, dining area, spacious living room and amazing kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances and premium finishes. A small room became a butler's pantry, the primary bedroom gained an en-suite bath, and a second full bath was added. The approximately 581 square-foot second floor now offers two large, open office areas with custom cabinetry and iron railings overlooking the main level. Outside, double doors open to a full basement, which was waterproofed and dehumidified by TC Hafford, providing dry space for the updated utilities and ample dry storage. Tucked behind a stand of beautiful Norway spruce, this charming, one-of-a-kind residence offers both convenience and tranquility. You can stroll past historic sea captains' homes to Kennebunk Village, with its cafés, shops, farmers market, and many amenities. Also, the entrance to 2.5 miles of trails at Wonder Brook Conservation Preserve is just a minutes' walk from your doorstep and Dock Square restaurants & area beaches are only a five-minute drive away.
