The School Street House • Dock Square Village

Featured in Decor Maine magazine, The School Street House blends historic Kennebunkport charm with thoughtful modern luxury.

Set on the site of the original 1820 schoolhouse and just 100 steps from Dock Square, the home offers three bedrooms, two full baths, a chef's kitchen, and beautifully appointed indoor and outdoor living spaces. Fine Italian linens, Aesop amenities, TOTO washlets, and light-filled interiors create a stay that feels both refined and effortless.

Remarkably private for such a central location, the backyard opens to gardens, wildflowers, and a peaceful river beyond.


*The Space*
Originally the site of Kennebunkport's 1820s schoolhouse, this thoughtfully renovated village home blends historic character with modern comfort. Sunlight streams through the skylit kitchen and coastal interiors, illuminating a carefully curated mix of preserved architectural details, contemporary finishes, and timeless New England charm.

Despite being only steps from Dock Square, the property enjoys an unexpectedly peaceful setting. Beyond the backyard, a meadow of wildflowers leads to a small river, creating a sense of privacy and connection to nature rarely found in the heart of the village.

The home comfortably accommodates up to six guests and offers multiple gathering spaces for relaxing, dining, and entertaining.


*Sleeping*
Three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms accommodate up to six guests.

The primary bedroom features a king bed, while the second and third bedrooms offer queen and full beds respectively. All are dressed in fine Italian linens and thoughtfully appointed to provide a restful, hotel-quality sleep experience.

Televisions are available throughout the home, including Samsung Frame TVs in two guest bedrooms.


*Bathrooms*
Two full bathrooms serve the home.

The first-floor bath features a walk-in shower, while the upstairs bath includes a tub/shower combination.

*Kitchen*

Please note that the interior fireplace is decorative and not currently functional.
