Kennebunkport’s Kings Highway Listing Grabs National Attention

Kennebunkport’s Kings Highway Listing Grabs National Attention

Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to present this exceptional property that has been attracting the attention of publications like Mansion Global and Dwell Magazine. This Kennebunkport estate priced at $8.85 million, features a main residence and an award-winning beach pavilion, offering over 100 feet of waterfront with five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and stunning architectural design.

As featured in Mansion Global, this residence stands out from the traditional aesthetic. The article highlights the property’s “innovation and architectural prowess” which is evident throughout the design.

A Property Like No Other

The waterfront property is located right on Goose Rocks Beach, one of the rare sandy beaches in a state better known for its rocky coast, and spans a quarter of an acre, which the owners purchased in two separate transactions, one in 2004 for $1.89 million and another in 2006 for $1.1 million, according to property records.

The “pavilion” was built in 2011 and has two bedrooms and three bathrooms across approximately 2,100 square feet, according to the listing with Heather Shields of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty. The main house was constructed in 2013, with about 3,300 square feet of living space, three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

“Both the main house and beach pavilion exteriors are designed to withstand the coastal environment. Adorned with solid teak decking to resist moisture, they feature marine grade stainless risers and rails for corrosion resistance, while cedar siding cladding offers beauty and protection from the elements,” Shields said.

Additionally, both homes have a flat roof, which allowed them to be built to three stories without breaking the shorefront height restrictions, she added.

A Deeper Look

The owner has shared some unique features with us that go beyond the stunning visuals showcased in our portfolio. “There simply is no other compound set up on the beach,” the owner explains. This allows for adjusting the living space based on the season or number of guests, ensuring optimal comfort and privacy.

The architectural choices were deliberate, focusing on creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience in the summer and maximizing solar thermal benefits in the winter. “While modern in style, the siding was painted in GRB grey to live nicely with the surrounding environment,” the owner clarifies. “The sight lines afforded by this architectural style even from the laundry room are spectacular.”

The property’s location in Goose Rocks Beach further elevates its appeal. “GRB is a treasure from a natural and community perspective,” claims the owner.  “The community house provides a bygone neighborhood experience, with kids safely riding bikes and enjoying the outdoors,” they add.

Dwell Magazine delves into the property’s captivating interior design. As the article explains,

“The compound is thoughtfully situated to capture panoramic views from Timber Island to Stage Harbor Island. Throughout both homes, find thoughtful details and bespoke finishes like solid walnut accents and custom tile and lighting. A third floor deck on the main house is a cozy retreat with a wood burning fireplace, home theater, and bar.”

The property also includes a deck with a fireplace, perfect for extending your gatherings into the cooler evenings, and a mooring for boating enthusiasts. With all these features, it’s no wonder this residence has been attracting media attention across Maine.
