Description

HISTORY, LOCATION & TIMELESS ELEGANCE. National Register of Historic Places and recognized by the National Register of Historic Places, the Historic Head House, built in 1900, stands proudly as a stately Victorian masterpiece rich in architectural distinction & historical prominence. Zoned for both residential and commercial use, this property presents a rare and compelling investment opportunity. Its central location places it just minutes from waterfront parks, shopping, the Lakes Region, and Rte. 1, offering convenient access to Kennebunkport & Wells Beach, making it ideal for income-producing or mixed-use possibilities. Surrounded by period-authentic landscaping, the grounds feature rose gardens, a pear tree, and an original lilac bush. Inside, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout, including Tuscan Order columns, 9-foot ceilings, double crown ceiling moldings designed for art display, and beveled granite work sourced from a local Kennebunk quarry. A standout feature is the laurel wreath stained glass window, symbolizing victory & achievement. The parlor offers warmth & elegance with wood-burning fireplace, a dramatic polygon bay of windows that floods the space with natural light, and open-concept layout flowing into generously sized rooms, while the upper level was originally designed for separate bedrooms. Finished third-floor expands the home to 3, 629 square feet of living space, presenting excellent potential for a studio, in-law apartment, short-term rental, or creative workspace, further enhancing the property's income possibilities. Whether envisioned as a live/work residence, professional office, hair or wellness studio, bed & breakfast, this historic property offers multiple avenues for value creation & long-term return in scenic, historic, and touristic Southern Maine. If you've dreamed of owning a rare gem that blends architectural beauty, historical significance, this is truly a showplace. Seller may accommodate quick closing.
