This captivating home, built by Ebenezer Rice in 1766, is located in the Kennebunk historic district. Upon entering the house, you notice the high-quality materials and detailed artistry utilized in the extensive renovation of this classic property.

Traditional features such as antique exposed hand-hewn post and beam trusses, custom wood mantels with five working fireplaces, and crown moldings are tastefully matched with the contemporary amenities of premium stainless appliances (including a four-burner Viking gas range and hood), custom-designed kitchen, central air conditioning, contrasting cabinet colors and walk-in showers with custom glass. The courtyard is framed by a classic red post and beam barn and benefits from the mature hardwoods and stone walkway. The attention given to preserving the charm and character of this 18th-century gem combined with premium modern appointments will undoubtedly impress the most discerning buyer. Walking distance to Main Street and its amenities, this property offers all the benefits of coastal living and proximity to Portland and Boston.
