Historic Oceanfront Gooch’s

**NEW LISTING**

Historic Oceanfront Home on Gooch’s Beach

Step back in time and experience coastal Maine at its most authentic. Built in 1896, this is the very first home ever constructed on Gooch’s Beach in Kennebunk—and it still holds all of its original charm. Situated directly on the oceanfront, with the beach just steps from your door, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views, salty breezes, and the soothing sound of the waves.

This home is not modern or updated, and that’s part of its magic. You’ll find original woodwork, vintage fixtures, and the kind of timeless character you can’t recreate. It’s comfortable and clean, but intentionally preserved to reflect its historic roots.

With unbeatable beach access, a welcoming porch, and walkable convenience to downtown Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, this is a truly special place for those who appreciate history, simplicity, and the natural beauty of Maine’s southern coast.

Details:

• 5 bedrooms / 3 baths
• Oceanfront + beachfront access
