Property Description
Escape the hustle and bustle of Kennebunkport's lively Dock Square and discover the serene enclave of Cape Porpoise, known by the locals as the 'quiet side' of 'The Port'. Perched majestically atop Bickford Island, stands this grand Greek Revival Cape, steeped in history and timeless elegance. Dating back to 1854, this distinguished residence was originally constructed by George Fletcher, one of the early Light House Keepers of Goat Island Light House. In its day, this iconic home hosted legendary gatherings, where locals reminisce about their
first sips by the fireplace during Elfrieda Spicer's tenure. Today, this architectural marvel seamlessly merges old-world charm with modern comforts, boasting a bright and airy living space that offers views of Cape Porpoise Harbor, Goat Island Light House, and the endless expanse of ocean beyond.
Thoughtful renovations have transformed this dwelling into a turn-key oasis, perfect for those seeking coastal serenity. Known throughout the years as The Light Keeper's House, Marland's Red Cottage, The Spicer House and The Pier Lady's House, 78 Pier Road beckons you to create your own legacy in this cherished coastal retreat. Come see for yourself why Cape Porpoise is so special and make this timeless home your own. Recently inspected, results available.
