Description

The Wedding Cake House, a true piece of New England history, commands attention on Summer Street in the heart of Kennebunk's Historic District. Rich in legend, romance, and timeless charm, this iconic Gothic Revival landmark stands proudly between Kennebunk and Kennebunkport. Offering 7 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 4 half baths, this historic estate blends period elegance with modern comfort and is being offered fully furnished, including its curated collection of artwork. The main house's first level features a sparkling chef's kitchen with premium appliances, ideal for everyday living or catered events, a formal parlor anchored by an antique Chickering piano, a stately dining room, a warm library, two powder rooms, and a laundry area. A graceful circular staircase, adorned with a hand-painted mural by Mary Burnett, leads to the second floor where four beautifully appointed bedrooms await: the en-suite Bridal Room, the en-suite Captains Room, the Tack Room, and a fourth elegant bedroom. The dramatic Carriage House and Barn offer a stunning venue for year-round entertaining. This expansive ballroom-style space features a grand piano, surround sound, and multiple French doors that open to an oversized deck overlooking the private backyard. Two half baths and a lounge complete the main level. Upstairs, a private one-bedroom apartment with full kitchen, bath, living room, and sunroom provides ideal guest or caretaker quarters with its own entrance. Set on 2.23 manicured acres with 300 feet of frontage on the Kennebunk River, the grounds offer a magical backdrop for hosting or quiet reflection, complete with firepit and sweeping river views. A rare and treasured offering, The Wedding Cake House is a timeless blend of architectural beauty, rich heritage, and gracious living. This is a must-see.
