If you’ve ever dreamed of owning one of New England’s most iconic homes, here’s your chance. One of the newest additions to Maine’s real estate market is the famous “Wedding Cake House” of Kennebunk, Maine. Steeped in history and elegance, this 2.23-acre property sits on the banks of the Kennebunk River and boasts over 300 feet of waterfrontage as well as a sprawling 5-bedroom home. Next door, a barn and carriage house offer additional entertaining space, plus a bonus 2-bedroom apartment and kitchen.
The home was built in 1825 and retains countless unique historic details, from the sweeping custom mural in the front foyer to the ornate, frosting-like exterior trim. According to its former website, the trim was added starting in 1952 following a fire that destroyed the original barn, and the property’s name was born soon after when a local businessman dubbed the house “The Wedding Cake House” for a postcard collection of numerous Kennebunk homes. Since then, the home has undergone many significant restorations to restore and maintain all of its former glory, and has been both a private home and an inn.
