Property Description

The Anchorage - Originally built in 1893, The Anchorage is a rare surviving example of Kennebunkport's late Victorian seaside resort era, when gracious homes and summer cottages were established along the coast for seasonal retreat and recreation. With a unique 0.6-acre beachfront parcel along the Goose Rocks shoreline corridor, the property offers a remarkable sense of place, where history, community, and the Atlantic all come together. In 1936, Captain Charles W. Scott gave the home its enduring name following his purchase of the property, which has remained in the same family since 1959 - a legacy that speaks to both its lasting appeal and special role in the story of Goose Rocks Beach. What truly distinguishes the property is its extraordinary setting, with a gated, sandy path leading through the dunes to Goose Rocks Beach and a boat mooring beyond, creating a highly desirable connection to the water. The home itself captures views of the Atlantic from every room and offers an inviting layout for both relaxed living and entertaining, including the option for first-floor living, two bedrooms and two baths on the second level, two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the third level, and a room over the garage with a half bath -- an ideal private office or guest retreat. Completely renovated in 2019 with careful respect for its historic character, the home blends timeless architecture with modern amenities and the ease expected of a contemporary coastal residence. The Anchorage's pedigree and enduring appeal honors its rich past while offering an exceptional lifestyle on Goose Rocks Beach.
