E DITOR’S NOTE PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH PRAK

Southport Portland

T

he Kennebunks were a catalyst for my move to Maine. On a very cold and rainy Memorial Day weekend four years ago, several of my old friends—now scattered around the country—gathered together in a rented house on Goose Rocks Beach.

One evening, we wandered across the street and into the Kennebunkport Resort Collection’s Tides Beach Club, where the nautical-chic decor includes Lucite stools lined up around a scalloped, leather-wrapped bar and bamboo-style Chippendale chairs pulled up to whitewashed pedestal tables. What had we stumbled upon? The seven of us sat outside on the porch, buried underneath blankets and several layers of too-thin sweaters, sipping Dark ’n’ Stormys in defiance of the weather and in our determination to make the most of the long weekend, all while taking in that gorgeous gray ocean.

Isn’t that the Kennebunks in a nutshell? Undiscovered hidden gems, perhaps some unpredictable weather, and most of all, unbridled beauty?

The three homes featured in this issue speak to all of the above.

They share sensitivity to their natural surroundings, are efficiently built to withstand the elements, and make the most of indoor-outdoor living. Tim Harrington’s house (incidentally, it’s designed by Louise Hurlbutt, who also did the Tides) may seem cottage-like from the street, but in the back it features a modern exterior that unwraps to reveal the ocean right outside (Back in the Neighborhood…for Now, page 96). The interior of the Burkes’ home is awash in stone, smoke, and pewter gray, shades selected (along with the home’s just-right angle) in order to let the river views really sing (Just Across the River, page 80), and the Kings’ three-story home on the beach maximizes a minimal footprint just feet from the pounding surf (A Perfect Fit, page 112).

There’s no denying the pull of Kennebunkport or of the surrounding area’s stop-to-snap-a-photo beauty. Four years ago on that Memorial Day weekend, something about Maine spoke to this then–New Yorker.

Now? You know where to find me.

n precious family land in the woods of Freeport, my modern farmhouse home is coming together. I spend nights poring over design choices such as door handles, kitchen cabinets, flooring, and wall colors (all shades of white, much to the annoyance of my husband, who believes there is only one white). And the list goes on.

What I didn’t realize when I set out to build my dream home is that every choice is mine, every little detail. For the most part, I love this, but how do you make the right choice every single time? What I learned is that, just as in most aspects of life, the answer is by surrounding yourself with the right people: picking the right builder (when we met ours, Rob Barrett of Barrett Made, at one of Maine Media Collective’s monthly Cinq à Sept events, we knew he was the one), choosing the right vendors (all of our flooring is coming from the incredible selections at Distinctive Tile and Design), and having the right people to run ideas

past (Rebecca Falzano, our editor-inchief, has been my sounding board).

Lucky for me—and for you, whether yours is a renovation, redecoration, or new build—inspiration can be found in the pages of Maine Home+Design.

As we near summer and, hopefully, the completion of our build, I can’t help daydreaming about the time when we will actually live there. I’m already making plans for dinner parties and cocktails on the wraparound porch. This may be in part because, as the days get warmer, I start anticipating the Kennebunkport Festival, which runs June 5 to 10. The six-day art, food, and wine festival kicks off summer with two nights dedicated to the Art of Dining Dinners. These intimate events, hosted in private homes around Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, feature Maine’s top chefs and delicious wine pairings for the ultimate dinner party.

Summer can’t come soon enough for me. Between this year’s festival and moving into our new home, it is sure to be the best one yet.

WE LOVE MAINE. We fill our work days creating Maine-centric media products—publishing magazines and guides, producing radio shows, managing social media sites, developing websites, filming videos, producing events—because of this simple tenet. Our staff have stayed here, come back here, or moved here because we love Maine’s rich history, its unique character, and the people who live here, and most important, because we believe in Maine’s potential.

We simultaneously love the Maine we grew up in and fully embrace the reality that things change and evolve. And we bear witness to that happening here. We are cheerleaders for Maine as a place for people to live, stay, and thrive—a place for people from away to move to, a place for second homeowners to buy into, a place to raise children, a place to start and operate a business—as well as a place to visit and explore, a place to escape and heal. And, a place to be inspired.

We cover Maine in a positive light. We intentionally leave the negativity and snark to other media outlets.

There is a place for everything, and we honor that.

But that place is not here.

So if you love Maine, please turn to us with your reading eyes, your listening ears, your follows and your likes, your attendance, and your advertising and sponsorships. Explore what we believe is the best Maine has to offer, on the pages of our magazines and guides, through the airwaves, at events, and via social media.

JAKE GOTT grew up around the commercial fishing industry and the restaurant business. A fifth-generation Mainer, by the age of 6, he was peeling onions in his mother’s restaurant, and by 14 he was running his own lobster boat. Gott’s start in carpentry was in timber framing, where he worked for many years before going into general carpentry and construction. His passion for building and business, and an increasing customer demand for high-quality craftsmanship, necessitated the creation of his own company, Timber Island Builders, in 1999. Just Across the River, page 80 When he was 15 years old, KEVIN LORD accepted a part-time job in the building trade. What was intended as a temporary position unexpectedly turned into his love. Now he owns Kennebunkport custom building company Thomas and Lord as well as Maine Marble and Granite. When he’s not in the office or on a job site, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Kelly, and their three children, whom he is teaching to fish. Back in the Neighborhood… for Now, page 96

NOTES FROM OUR READERS Each month we write to new subscribers asking how they heard about us and what they think of MH+D, as well as their connection to the great state of Maine.

With much enthusiasm, they tell us all this and more. We welcome letters of any kind. Send them to letters@mainehomedesign.com.

Our subscription was a gift from my awesome wife, who knows how much I love your magazine. I’m getting Maine Home+Design to see the wide variety of interesting architecture you cover.

An old childhood friend of mine, Scott Benezra, was your cover feature for his modern farmhouse in Kennebunkport in December 2014, and that’s what turned me on to Maine Home+Design. I think you are making a top-notch magazine.

I’m a builder here in the Boston area, and I’ve been drawing a lot of inspiration from your magazine and website. I only wish you covered Vermont, too.

My wife and I are renovating an old church there and have been looking for a Vermont publication similar to yours for inspiration, but it just does not exist.

We have plenty of inspiration from Maine Home+Design, though.

JOE ROMAN SWAMPSCOTT, MA While we live in Maryland, our hearts are in Maine. I’m a native of central New York, and my husband is from Pennsylvania.

We love the coast of Maine and look forward to retiring there in about 10 years. I found your Facebook page a few months ago, and I loved the photos of the homes so much that I decided I needed them in print version. This way, I can easily keep hard copies of ideas for our future home.

LISA HONTZ GAMBRILLS, MD After seeing a friend’s Maine Home+Design in 2016, I knew I had to have my own subscription. As soon as I finish the last page, I can’t wait for the next issue. We’re building our dream house right now, so every picture strikes a chord and helps me with decisions. The magazine seems to have so many more features that we love than any others.

Thank you so much for this gem of a publication.

Q+A

with homeowner Greg Burke and Jeff Gagnon of Gagnon Heating and Air Conditioning on efficiently heating and cooling a coastal Kennebunkport home

PHOTO: Jeff Roberts

New construction is an opportunity to implement the latest in heating and cooling technology. We asked homeowner Greg Burke and Jeff Gagnon of Gagnon Heating and Air Conditioning about the heating and cooling system in Burke’s new waterfront home designed by KW Architects and built by Timber Island Builders.

Vision. Commitment. Results

CABINETRY ∏ CONSTRUCTION ∏ RENOVATIONS 207.846.5105 ∏ MAGUIRECONSTRUCTION.COM 40 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Q. WHAT INFLUENCED YOUR CHOICE OF HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM?

BURKE. The goal was to create an energyefficient, easily maintained home with several redundant heat sources. Jeff Gagnon recommended a high-efficiency wall-hung Baxi Luna Duo-Tec 40 GA modulating and condensing propane boiler to supply the radiant heat in the slab on the first level and Biasi Ecostyle panel radiators on the second level. The boiler also supplies the Biasi towel-bar radiators in the bathrooms, which heat the rooms as well as dry the towels.

We added Mitsubishi Electric Cooling and Heating’s electric ductless mini-split wall units to the upstairs bedrooms and office for air-conditioning in summer and backup heating in the shoulder months. Due to the tight construction, we also added a Broan heat recovery ventilator to bring in fresh air and exhaust stale air.

Q. WHAT STANDS OUT ABOUT THE BOILER? GAGNON. Baxi makes the only boiler available with the gas-adaptive technology and on-demand domestic hot water in the same unit, putting it in front of its competitors. On-demand hot water is about 20 percent more efficient than a hot water tank, and gas-adaptive technology selfadjusts based on the specific gravity of the fuel gas, for up to 98 percent efficiency.

Q. WHY THE MINI SPLITS? GAGNON. Mitsubishi ductless heat-pump systems provide cooling in summer and shoulder-season heating with a low carbon footprint. They generally operate at a more efficient level than the boiler for heat in September, October, April, and May and part of November and March. Mini splits work similar to the way a refrigerator does. Using a compressor, an evaporator coil, a condensing coil, and a metering device, they transfer heat from one place to another via a refrigerant.

While a refrigerator transfers heat from inside its chamber to the living space, a heat pump transfers heat from the outside air into your home.

Q. WHAT ARE THE ANNUAL UTILITY

Great living spaces require a team effort.

Design and Furniture by EcoHome.

Lighting by Lighting Concepts.

COSTS?

BURKE. For our 3,000-square-foot home, last year’s electric bill was $957, and we used 939 gallons of propane at $1,392. The Baxi boiler, indoor and outdoor gas fireplaces, gas range, and gas dryer all run on propane.

he combination of creams, greens, and grays in this kitchen-dining area seems just right for spring. Get this look by Tara Bernerd at home with streamlined furnishings in natural wood tones, such as the 3171 Bench by designer Børge Mogensen. (Benches are great for tight spaces, as they eliminate the problem of chair legs bumping into each other.) Certine’s black ceramic flatware pops on the table, a gooseneck faucet makes filling pots a cinch, and herringbone pillows elevate—and add comfort to—the whole look. Combining function with style, it’s a relaxed kitchen that still has plenty of kick. MH+D

Most architects tend to establish a niche in the types of buildings that they design, balancing their technical and building programming expertise with meaningful creativity, but the diversity of our audience and the designs that we deliver will always vary. Just as art is scrutinized, people will often view an architect’s work and immediately have a response. They’ll think, “That building looks nice,” or “That color is interesting,” or “That material is innovative.” These responses are what architects work hard to inspire while we develop a building based on its intended use, its environment, and its site context, while incorporating sustainable features and considering whether it will be marketable within its industry and how it will accommodate the clients’ needs, wants, and budget.

Q. A.

How do you bring artful architecture to senior living?

With a specialty in designing for seniors at all their different levels of care, I must work within many parameters.

My creative license needs to balance with many different regulations, appropriate construction details, and everadapting industry trends. Architects must constantly be on the forefront of any changes within these more technical parameters that can feel contrary to the creative process.

As constraining as that may sound, therein lies the greatest challenge of being an architect. It’s a challenge that I love.

OceanView at Falmouth is a great example of a project that I have delved into over the past 20 years. This project has necessitated innovation within a dynamic industry that is constantly changing due to shifts in areas such as health care, sustainability, technology, and wellness. Through the years, I

have worked with the owner and staff at OceanView to respond to these changes in trends, adapting their existing buildings and designing their new buildings accordingly. This gratifies the challenge of unifying diversity within a single site. All of my designs must maintain a cohesive architectural style that is consistent with the OceanView vernacular and attractive to the current and future residents as well as the community.

Q. A.

How have buildings designed for senior living changed over the years?

An interesting and very dramatic shift that has happened over the past several years, which has affected how we design buildings for seniors, is the arrival of the baby boom generation.

They have higher-level expectations of care and amenities than previous generations, who lived much more frugally. This has necessitated more design creativity, developing a greater vision of how to “paint the canvas” to accommodate the needs and desires of a group of people with such vitality. It’s exciting.

This aspect of architecture, of dissecting the minutia, is what makes my job invigorating. The collaborative and comprehensive nature of how we approach diversity within our designs is very fulfilling. In the case of senior living, success is when the staff are able to maximize their day-today efficiency and their ability to provide excellent quality care of the residents, while the seniors who reside there have a sense of security, independence, and safety that may have been lacking before they moved in. When I complete a project and I see that I have given a client an environment that is comfortable and visually appealing, it is a great feeling. MH+D

SINGING A NEW TUNE AN ICONIC ARUNDEL BARN IS REVIVED AS VINEGAR HILL MUSIC THEATRE

epurposing old things for new uses is a New England tradition. When Adrienne Grant opened the Arundel Barn Playhouse in 1997, she resurrected a 100-year-old barn and farmhouse that had been vacant since its last occupants died more than a decade earlier. Grant retired in 2016, and the barn on the corner of Old Post and River Roads was again reinvented as the Vinegar Hill Music Theatre, this time with a stylish update. Gone are the playhouse’s farm signs and country-style decor, replaced by sophisticated design elements that modernize the property while still respecting its history.

Vinegar Hill is owned by Tim Harrington, founding partner of the Kennebunkport Resort Collection (KRC), and Deb Lennon, also a founding partner of KRC, who left the company in 2015 and now serves as the venue’s managing partner. “I had traveled down to the Bull Run Restaurant in Shirley, Massachusetts, to see Rickie Lee Jones a few summers ago, and came back saying that we had to have something like that in the Kennebunks,” says Harrington. “Tim had always admired the Arundel Barn Playhouse,” adds Lennon. “He saw it as having tremendous bones—a beautiful old barn, great acreage, and huge potential.”

As creative director for the hotel group, Harrington is responsible for the elegant yet laid-back vibe that distinguishes each of its eight properties, and he has

brought the same sensibility to Vinegar Hill. Once painted pale yellow, the exterior of the building is now slate black, a dramatic choice that stands out against its rural surroundings. A simple white sign over the barn doors reads “Vinegar Hill Farm”—referring to an Arundel legend about one year when all the apple cider went bad and local farmers dumped it in a single spot, giving it the name Vinegar Hill. In the driveway, parking lot, and walkways, gravel has been replaced by crushed shells, a nod to the nearby coastline and a bright visual contrast to the dark buildings. Lattice fencing painted the same black screens an outdoor space for drinks, which is festooned with strings of globe lights. Inside the theater, the old, bolted-to-the-floor seating was replaced with 210 moveable seats (plus 30 in the balcony boxes).

Farm implements that had hung on the walls were taken down, and air-conditioning was installed. “I was thrilled to embrace the history and gorgeous architecture of the barn,” says Harrington. “We were able to layer on more modern amenities while preserving its authenticity, warmth, and intimacy.”

The barn itself had been well cared for by Grant, Lennon says, but to reopen the theater as a stateof-the-art music venue required all-new sound and lighting systems. Bathrooms and an elegant stonetopped bar were added near the entrance, and the connecting farmhouse was completely gutted to create MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 61

PR OF ILE|V INE G AR H I L L

a comfortably furnished “green room” with a dining area and a kitchen where entertainers can relax before and after shows.

“All the performers have loved it; in fact, they all want to come back,” says Lennon.

As a performance space, the barn is spare and dramatic, with nothing ornamenting the rough-hewn posts and beams except for rows of pillar candles, which are hardwired. “The history and feeling was in the wood and the structure, and we really wanted that to speak for itself,” says designer Krista Stokes, who worked with Harrington on the project. “We thought using ‘candlelight’ would ​keep it intimate, indulgent, and warm.”

Stokes says that honoring the barn’s place in the community also factored into the design. Once part of a farm built in the late nineteenth century by the William E. Smith family, and last inhabited by his descendants Marcia and Angelia Smith, known to neighbors as “the Smith sisters,” the property is a local icon. “People are really sentimental about it,” she says. To imbue the renovated space with a sense of the past, Stokes commissioned artist David Allen—who also

62 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

did 100 original paintings for the KRC’s Lodge on the Cove— to create portraits of imaginary “ancestors” for the theater’s restrooms. The moody paintings depict a man (in the men’s room) and a woman (in the ladies’ room) dressed in simple, early-nineteenth-century clothing and viewed from the back, which gives them a sense of mystery and privacy. “We were going to do a portrait of the Smith sisters, but we couldn’t find an accurate picture of them anywhere,” Stokes says.

“We didn’t want to imagine them, because they were actual people and that seemed disrespectful.”

Landscape designer Ted Carter of Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes, who has worked with Harrington on other KRC properties, explains that painting all of Vinegar Hill’s structures black helped to diminish their size. “It’s like wearing black clothes,” he says. “Working with a black background in a green landscape affords creative choices,” he continues, “but it’s also challenging, because black swallows color.” To make his plantings pop, Carter chose a palette of yellow, chartreuse, and white. For trees and shrubs, he planted Heritage birch, which has white exfoliating bark; Taylor’s Sunburst pine,

Clockwise from top left: Strings of globe lights form a canopy over the garden at Vinegar Hill, where patrons gather for drinks before shows.

with needles that emerge bright yellow; and Golden Mop threadleaf false cypress, a shaggy dwarf shrub.

White daylilies, hydrangeas, and lilacs add softness while echoing what might have been planted on the old farm. “There was minimal landscaping in those days, because they spent so much time in survival mode; landscaping was a luxury,” says Carter. “My planting scheme— although it is certainly off the charts for that era—is still a remarkably simple, uncomplicated installation.”

Carter’s plantings should be at their peak when Vinegar Hill opens for its second season on June 17 with a performance by the Four C Notes—a Frankie Valli tribute group. Linda Eder, Ronan Tynan, and Well-Strung are all returning for the 2017 season, along with Larry Gatlin and Jim Messina, who will both appear on the Vinegar Hill stage for the first time. “We strive to have a pretty diverse group of performers that range from nostalgia to Broadway to blues to country western to disco and then some of the tributes, so that it has a wide appeal,” says Lennon. “We’re hoping to have (TV host and musician) Joe Scarborough back again, because he was one of the highlights of last summer.”

Lennon’s future plans for Vinegar Hill include a youth theater program.

She will also be hosting more nonprofit events, such as the Pink Tie Party, which supports cancer research, and the Celebration of Reading, which benefits the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy.

Her first priority, however, reflects her long experience working in hotels.

“It has an element of hospitality, because we want every night to be a great experience for people sitting in those seats, regardless of who’s on stage,” Lennon says. “And it has to be memorable—whether they’re visitors or locals—because this is part of our community.” MH+D

KENNEBUNKPORT

hile many Kennebunkport residents call it home yearround, this pretty village on the tidal Kennebunk River is one of Maine’s most beloved summer communities.

Two centuries ago, shipbuilding and fishing were the dominant industries, but by the late 1800s the town’s status as a vacation destination was already firmly established. Affluent summer visitors built sprawling shingle-style homes overlooking the ocean, and a cluster of shops and restaurants grew up around Dock Square.

Today, Kennebunkport still teems with visitors between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The most famous summer residents are former president George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, who have entertained numerous heads of state at their family compound at Walker’s Point. Kennebunkport is also home to a wide variety of inns and hotels, ranging from luxury properties to quaint bed-andbreakfasts. Other sections of town include Cape Porpoise, a quiet village with a small fishing fleet and an old-fashioned vibe, and Goose Rocks, known for its nearly three-milelong white-sand beach.

Just Across the River On the Kennebunk River, a couple swaps summers on their boat for year-round living in a new build

Heather and Greg Burke paddle on the Kennebunk River. Their house, designed by KW Architects and built by Timber Island Builders, features a tri-gable facade to take advantage of water views.

The kitchen cabinets (above) are configured in a L-shape that surround an island topped with vividly veined Silver Cloud granite. This final, eye-catching look was a happy accident: the slab the couple chose first, a subtler granite, split before it was ever installed.

The entryway (opposite) features a stainless-steel cable railing that opens up the space. “It’s the only tension in the house,” jokes Heather.

F

or several years, Greg and Heather Burke referred to their 36-foot boat docked at the Yachtsman in Kennebunkport as their “summer house.” The couple lived just three miles away in a modest colonial where they had raised their two children, but would spend evenings and weekends out on the water once the weather turned warm. It was while they were out on the boat that they first spied the “cute little Cape,” recalls Greg. The Burkes casually daydreamed about the home perched out over the water directly across the river from them, until one day a realtor’s sign went up.

The couple put in a successful offer, knowing that the Cape, which had been cobbled together over decades dating back to the 1930s, would require a thorough renovation. Finding the right builder was easy: Jake Gott of Timber Island Builders in Kennebunkport kept his own boat near the Burkes’ and had also admired the home. But on the first day of work, problems began to arise. “When we were doing demo, it was a full-moon high tide,” Gott says. “The water was practically right there in the kitchen. It was like being out on the boat.” The team discovered that tidal water actually flowed underneath the house. “It was a

82 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

cool location,” Greg says, “But, as Gott pointed out to us, ‘You’re always going to have to babysit this house.’” With the elevation and the foundation presenting larger issues than initially realized, they decided to halt the work. “Three days in, we pulled the plug on our own renovation and said, ‘See you next year. We’ll have a bigger project for you then,’” says Greg.

With the renovation scrapped, the team would start from scratch. Gott referred the Burkes to architect Kristi Kenney of KW Architects in Wells. Due to the Cape’s location in the shoreline protection zone, Kenney had to get creative with the layout in order to orient the new build toward the river. “We asked Kristi to open up her mind and do something different,” says Greg. Her solution was to draw up a rectangular floor plan in which the southwest corner is clipped off, and then, rather than having the linear mass parallel to the cove, pivoted it a few degrees toward the water to open up the views. Inside, the angled wall translates to oversized eight-foot sliding patio doors in the first-floor great room, which combines a kitchen, dining area, and living space. The sliding doors lead down to a terraced patio that affords generous views of the river

The bump-out in the owners’ suite (above) creates a niche for the king-size bed. Stillness, a photo printed on canvas by Chris Lawrence of Maine Photography, hangs above it. Visible through the window, an archway connects the front of the house to the backyard.

and of Kennebunkport—hence the home’s name, Port Watch. Down lower still is the water, where the Burkes keep a pair of paddleboards, a kayak, and a small fishing boat.

With the home’s coastal views, it would have been easy—perhaps even expected—to choose a typical blue-and-white nautical theme, but the couple opted instead for a sophisticated palette of warm grays.

“Because we’re on the water, we brought in some colors from the beach and the ocean without doing the typical blue,” says Heather. “It has a soothing effect.” Shades of paint range from London Fog to Stonington Gray to Silver Cloud to Stormy Monday. But the Burkes aren’t immune to a few subtle nods to the sea, such as the crushed seashell driveway, rope lighting fixtures, nickelgap paneling in the entryway, and the Newburyport Blue front door. Small nautical details add an element of

84 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

surprise, such as the carved stone whale on the outdoor fireplace—noticeable only after it’s been pointed out— and the carved granite compass rose set into the outdoor patio.

The most coastal element of the home was a happy accident. The second-floor room that the Burkes use as their office is where a series of three gables meet in a cathedral ceiling. Although Kenney designed them originally as a space-saving measure to meet the shoreline volume requirements, they became particularly striking features when, during the building process, Gott had the idea to swathe them in the same whitewashed pine nickel-gap paneling that is used in the entryway. The finished effect gives the sensation of being underneath the hull of two ships. “It made the room one of the most interesting in the house,” says Kenney. French doors appear at the angled cutoff and lead out to a small

The great room combines living, dining, and kitchen areas. The coffee and end tables are the only items the Burkes brought from their former home. “We think that every home deserves its own furniture,� says Greg. The flooring looks like oak but is actually luxury vinyl, selected because it works well with radiant heating.

The only place where the color blue is used in the home is on the front door (above). The exterior is red cedar, the walkway is bluestone, and the driveway is made from crushed seashells. The facade’s white paneling helps to conceal the fact that only four small windows appear on the front of the home.

balcony where the Burkes enjoy lunch breaks from working on their hospitality web marketing company. A Jack and Jill bathroom with a shower, freestanding tub, and chandelier connects the office to one of two upstairs bedrooms, which are used by the couple’s two 20-something children when they’re home.

The daughter’s bedroom has an en suite bath, which has the only west-facing window in the house. The window placement was a strategic decision by Kenney. While the southern, water-facing side of the house has plenty of glass, the northern, street-facing side has only four small windows for privacy.

“The house is fairly close to the street, but from the inside, you wouldn’t know it,” she says. The facade is also reduced in scale (belying the home’s 3,000-square-foot

interior) but still manages to feel balanced and visually interesting, in part thanks to an archway that slopes down from the roofline that leads to the backyard. “It brings the roof back down to the ground and balances the porch on the other side,” says Kenney.

A bump-out on the exterior, designed by Gott and Kenney to add visual interest, works inside as a de facto headboard for the king-size bed in the first-floor owners’ suite. Above the bed is a photo of a boat that also perfectly fits into the niche.

The house is now the opposite of what it once was. Slab-on-grade means there’s no basement to flood, and the house is situated five feet above the minimum elevation requirement. It’s also energy efficient, with five heat sources, including radiant heat downstairs. “It works for the

First Floor long haul,” says Greg, noting no babysitting is needed now. But one thing remains the same: the home, although very different than the Cape that once stood there, is still charming to view from the river. “We get so many compliments on how well the house fits into the environment from our neighbors and from everyone who goes up and down the river,” says Greg. The Burkes no longer have their 36-foot boat—now there’s no need. They’ve traded in their “summer house” for one that works year-round, in every season. “We decided, from sitting on our boat over there, which was lovely and all, that sitting inside a home in basically the same location on a daily basis might be even nicer,” says Greg. “And you know what? It is.” MH+D

BACK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD… FOR NOW

NANTUCKET QUAINTNESS MEETS CONTEMPORARY CHIC IN CAPE PORPOISE

by Debra Spark // Photography by François Gagné

Working within the rooflines of an existing 1960s ranch, builder Kevin Lord and architectural designer William Ross created a chic cottage space by eliminating walls and incorporating what had once been attic space into a great room with exposed beams. A breakfast sitting area and a staircase to the second-floor guest rooms are behind the kitchen wall. An owner’s bedroom suite is to the right of what is pictured here. Two 16-foot bifold glass doors accordion back so the indoors becomes coextensive with the outdoors. The white walls have vertical beadboard, and the ceilings have horizontal V-groove boarding. The two types of paneling meet at a cove moulding with uplights that rim the room.

One end of the great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling chimney made of fieldstone.

Jeff Binette of SmartHome Solutions in Kennebunk installed TV sets in the living room and owner’s bedroom.

He also provided a distributed audio system, which can be controlled with a smart phone app. There are speakers in several rooms of the house as well as in a rock in the backyard. A supporting steel beam is wrapped in wood and painted white.

iami-based Tim Harrington is an active developer responsible for multiple luxury hotels, restaurants, a gym/health center, and other properties, new and developing, in the Kennebunks and Biddeford. He’s been busy on the home front, too, having renovated eight houses in the 29 years that he’s lived off and on in the Kennebunks. In 2013, when I visited the 1880s post-and-beam he’d renovated on the mouth of the Kennebunk River, he told me he was done, at least when it came to his own abodes. The post-and-beam was the house that he loved, the house he was going to stay in.

Only it wasn’t.

“You’ve taken over the role of my mother, now that she’s gone,” Harrington laughs when I needle him. “Did I really say that?” he adds. “Well, I guess I should stop saying that.”

The thing is, he admits, he gets enthusiasms…and then he likes to carry them through.

Harrington’s latest personal project returns him to a place he knows well: Cape Porpoise’s Langsford Road, a byway of modest cottage homes with captivating views of the working harbor. Harrington has lived in two other houses on the street; in addition, his current house is next door to where his aunt once resided.

When he played in her yard as a boy, his ocean view included the 1960s brick-front ranch that he has recently come to own, then transform.

Because of zoning restrictions, the actual volume of the ranch could not be changed. The rooflines, basic

shape, and footprint had to be left intact. Everything else, however, would get a major overhaul. “From the outside, I wanted to make it look like a traditional cottage,” Harrington says. “On the back, I wanted it much more contemporary: all glass and right there on the water.”

Thanks to the talents of builder Kevin Lord of Thomas and Lord in Kennebunk and architectural designer William Ross of William Ross Design in York Harbor, Harrington achieved a cottage look with white-cedar wall shingles, red-cedar roof shingles, fresh white trim, and a glass-and-shingle cupola with a whale weathervane, as well as arched white garage doors. Inside, the first floor offers beautiful ocean views through two 16-foot bifold glass doors and a mahogany-framed bifold window set above the kitchen’s bar. On a summer day, the doors and window accordion back, effectively peeling away one wall of the house to make the living room and dining room coextensive with the backyard and ocean.

Harrington’s longtime collaborator and friend, interior designer Louise Hurlbutt of Hurlbutt Designs in Kennebunk, observes that Harrington chose a simple palette—white for almost everything save for natural neutrals such as sisal rugs and a floor-to-ceiling living room fireplace in fieldstone—so that nothing would conflict with the views. In some ways, Harrington’s Cape Porpoise property is his previous house turned upside down. In his former home, Harrington had an owner’s bedroom suite with an ancillary kitchen on the second floor. The living room, main kitchen, and smaller guest bedrooms were downstairs, the latter MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 99

The palette throughout the house is white with textured neutrals. In the kitchen and dining area (above), the white cabinetry, dishes, and armchairs are accompanied by a custom oak-topped table that was stained gray and wire brushed and antique gray chairs with chestnut brown caning and leather seats. The upholstered wing chairs are from Restoration Hardware.

Interior designer Louise Hurlbutt says the design of the staircase (opposite) was inspired by the Brighton Pavilion in England. The table at the base is an English antique with a leather top and legs called a “barley twist.”

located off the entry, and not quite as dramatic or large as Harrington’s upstairs bedroom. In his new home all the bedrooms are impressive, and Harrington now enjoys his single-floor living on the first floor. The great room has white beadboard walls and a cathedral ceiling with V-groove boarding and exposed beams. Cove moulding with uplights rims the room, separating the horizontal wall boarding from the vertical ceiling paneling. The kitchen, dining room, and living room function as a single space, but there is also a breakfast nook with coffee station that is open to the other areas but tucked behind the kitchen. This is also where the stairs to the guest rooms are hidden. The upstairs guest rooms are fitted out like luxurious hotel rooms, with beds with tufted upholstered headboards, custom pillows, and Cuddledown linens, the same bedding used at the hotels in the Kennebunkport Resort Collection, of which Harrington is partner and creative director.

Throughout the house, contrasting textures complement the palette: in the living room, white linen upholstered sofas are paired with tan leather armchairs, while in the dining area an oak-topped table (stained

gray and wire brushed) rests on an iron base that Hurlbutt found in France. (The custom top was made

by Derek Preble in Biddeford.) The surrounding seating includes antique chairs with chestnut brown cane backs and leather seats and, at either end of the table, white upholstered wing chairs from Restoration Hardware.

Above hangs a pendant light with a square fabric shade that seems to float in an open brass cube.

For the exterior, Ted Carter of Buxton’s Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes says, “Timmy wanted Nantucket.

Something sweet and dear.” To that end, beside a broken shell driveway a simple arched arbor introduces a cobblestone path cutting through a front lawn, which is defined by a white picket fence and plantings that, according to Carter, work as “a form of architecture,” here and elsewhere. Because he “can’t compete with the ocean,” Carter uses indigenous plantings such as high- and low-bush blueberries, ornamental grasses, and Russian sage to integrate the house with its environment.

In winter, the rocks are most dominant, with hunks of boulder that establish what Carter refers to as a “helterskelter ocean-break wall.” Come summer, the flowering

This powder room sink was created from a large shell—no small feat to pull off, owner Tim Harrington observes, since adding a drain could have easily cracked the shell. Still, Harrington had seen such a sink in a hotel that he visited and wanted to try it. The base is an old pillar that he found in an antique shop.

Without changing the basic form of the original 1960s ranch, Harrington wanted his house to look like a Cape Cod house, with a white picket fence, arbor, and crushed shell driveway from the front but to be completely open and modern on the back.

Architectural designer William Ross played with detailing, such as the curved walls of the gable window and the curved garage doors with windows, to give the exterior additional visual interest. A whale weathervane tops the cupola.

“FROM THE OUTSIDE, I WANTED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A TRADITIONAL COTTAGE,” HARRINGTON SAYS. “ON THE BACK, I WANTED IT MUCH MORE CONTEMPORARY: ALL GLASS AND RIGHT THERE ON THE WATER.”

As in Harrington’s previous house, a bifold window—then over the kitchen sink, now over the liquor cabinet (above)—slides back to an outdoor countertop that functions, thanks to exterior stools, as a bar area. The window frame is mahogany.

The countertop here and in the rest of the kitchen is Carrara marble.

and woody aspects of the property come to life.

Against the white walls and furnishings of the house, black appears as an occasional contrast. The screened porch has antique black wicker furniture from a previous house.

Only, on the day I visit, just as I am penning some notes about the works by Maine-based painters Jean Jack and Eric Hopkins that adorn the walls of Harrington’s bedroom, two men enter the room. They remove the rug and swap out a black chair for a white one. There’s a brief discussion of moving the bed to the right to create more of a sitting area by the window. I can’t imagine who would protest the plan, though before the men arrived, it all looked rather fabulous to me. Not to mention comfortable. But, as always, Harrington has other ideas.

A PERFECT FIT

LIMITED SPACE REQUIRES CLEVER SOLUTIONS AND THOUGHTFUL EXECUTION IN THIS COMPACT SHINGLE-STYLE HOME ON GOOSE ROCKS BEACH

by Katy Kelleher // Photography by Jeff Roberts

112 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Chris and Lisa King sit on the deck outside their Goose Rocks Beach home while two of their children, Madison and Bryanna, play nearby. The deck railing complements the home’s nautical style.

The open floor plan (above) creates a feeling of spaciousness. Above the living area’s mantel is Allen Bunker’s oil on canvas Green Trees.

Designed by Peterson Design Group Architecture, the 1,672-square-foot house (opposite) features custom-made Pella windows, which are black on the outside and white on the inside. “I wanted to keep the interior clean and light,” Lisa says. “Black window sashes wouldn’t have worked on the inside.” The landscape design is by Kennebunkport’s CL Design and Landscape.

T

hree years ago, Lisa and Chris King were walking along Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport with their two younger daughters. For years, the Kings had spent their summers vacationing on their 45-foot yacht, which they docked at Constitution Marina in Boston, but they were ready for a change. They decided on a whim to take a trip to the Kennebunks. Neither Lisa nor Chris were particularly familiar with Kennebunkport, but they felt drawn to the charm of the lower village and the raw beauty of the coastline. Then, as they were discussing their home-buying options, their daughter Bryanna ran up to them with a sand dollar in hand.

“She told me she found a whole sand dollar—one that wasn’t broken,” Lisa recalls. “I thought she was yanking my chain at first. But it was real. Here I was, 42 years old, and seeing my first whole sand dollar in the wild.” Even though she’d visited Florida beaches as a child, and even though she spent her summers on the Massachusetts coast, this was a new experience for Lisa. “It felt like a sign,” she says.

Lisa relays this story while seated on a custom-made, nautical-striped swivel chair in front of a large window in her Goose Rocks Beach home. A few feet away, builder Jonathan Trudo of Creative Coast Construction in Kennebunkport is examining the deck railing through the window. “The cords need tightening,” he says, pointing at the steel cords that surround the 200-square-foot deck. He’s ostensibly here for the interview, but Trudo can’t stop examining his own handiwork.

Despite its location just feet from the pounding surf, the cleverly designed beach house is holding up well. (And if anything should go amiss, Trudo lives right down the street and is happy to come by for repairs.)

The Kings began construction in 2014 after tearing down an existing structure.

“It was a small cottage, and it wasn’t in good shape at all,” Trudo says. Not only was the former beach house rather dated, it was also quite cramped. The couple’s four children range in age from 7 to 21, and if the Kings were going to build a

vacation house, they wanted to have room for their kids, their kids’ friends, and any other weekend visitors.

However, their space needs presented a problem. While the couple loved the seaside lot and its charming coastal neighborhood, zoning laws made it impossible for them to expand the original footprint of nearly 700 square feet. There were other limitations, too. They couldn’t build very high, due to Kennebunkport’s 30-foot height restriction, including the 3-foot piers the house had to be built on because of its proximity to the water.

“It was a very tricky house structurally,” says architectural designer Erik Peterson of Peterson Design Group Architecture in Kennebunk, who designed the couple’s shingle-style beach house. They wanted to have three stories, which would allow room for guest bedrooms and an owners’ suite (complete with a balcony up top), as well as rooms for all four children, including Chris’s adult kids, Courtney and Kyle. But, as Peterson explains, “Three stories in 27 feet is very, very tight.” Furthermore, the couple wanted an open-concept house to take advantage of the beachfront views and the natural light. “It was a puzzle. We had to get creative to figure out

how everything would fit, but we managed to get in three and a half bathrooms and a nice owners' suite plus the downstairs living area,” he says.

They accomplished this feat by using Microllam framing (a steel alternative made from compressed lumber) and lots of built-in storage and furniture. Microllam is strong and compact, which means that the floors could be half as thick as those in a traditionally framed house, thus opening up 15 inches of extra space. While 15 inches may not sound like a lot, it enabled Peterson to squeeze in the third floor. “They’re boat people,” says Peterson of his clients. “They were perfect candidates for a house that has no fat and no wasted space.”

Thanks to their years on the yacht, the Kings were used to built-in furniture, which made it easier for Peterson and Trudo to sell them on the necessity of having bedframes attached to the wall and drawers tucked under bunk beds. The second floor is a particularly impressive example of space-saving millwork.

“We had to find storage space wherever we could,” Chris says. “We knew we wouldn’t have space for dressers, so we put added storage under the window seat, as well as under the beds.” The second floor houses a guest room

with a queen-size bed built into the wall as well as a second bunk room. “We wanted to make sure that we had plenty of places for our guests to sleep,” Lisa adds. Even though the house has a small footprint, it can comfortably accommodate up to 10, thanks to the many beds and bathrooms.

Another way that the Kings paid tribute to their summers at sea is through the decor. The couple worked closely together on all elements of interior design, and they have successfully blended visual elements of traditional nautical decor with tasteful nods to the beachfront landscape (like bathroom tiles inspired by beach stones and floorboards stained a soft gray to evoke driftwood). They keep the space fresh by sticking to a limited palette (bright white and soft gray-blue) and choosing to emphasize the functional aspects of a ship instead of the decorative. In the kitchen, cabinets close with latches, and the refrigerator has been outfitted with boat cleats instead of standard handles. Blue and white quilts adorn the beds, and the walls of the stairway are covered in white-painted, random-width nickel-gap wood.

Another example of their attention to detail can be found in

the couple’s upstairs bedroom, where Lisa designed a square stained-glass window with a blue-tinted compass rose. “I couldn’t find anything I liked,” she says. “Every single piece of stained glass I saw was too beachy, with waves and birds.

That’s just not me. I wanted nautical and clean.”

The exterior of the house shows a similar restraint, from the black window trim to the light gray cedar shingles.

Peterson was able to add a 200-square-foot deck, which helps increase the overall usable space for the home.

However, Chris didn’t want to ruin the views of the water with a thick wood railing. “I wanted something that would blend right into the background,” he says. Fortunately, Trudo had a solution: he found a product called RailEasy Nautilus, which is composed of a system of stainless-steel cables and handrails that connect to white vinyl posts. “The cables reminded me right away of the boat,” says Chris. Adds Trudo, “And they don’t detract from the view at all.”

The family uses the deck constantly in the summer. It’s where they hold game nights, and it’s where the couple’s 11-year-old daughter, Madison, practices her tap dance

routine. (“Who taps with that view?” her mother says, shaking her head at the beauty of Goose Rocks.) The deck helps the house feel much larger than it is, Lisa says, as do the many large windows with minimal muntins.

Despite the fact that they started with a smaller lot size, the thought-out layout has paid off. Neither too big nor too small, the home comfortably fits the whole family— and more. “Now that we’re in it, we love it,” says Lisa. “It’s just right.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 150.

A FOURTH-GENERATION FAMILY BUSINESS, BIDDEFORD-BASED GENEST IS A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ALL YOUR MASONRY NEEDS

T

he Genest stone center in Biddeford is surrounded by stacks of stones, piled on pallets that stretch out across the asphalt. There are concrete blocks for modular paving, real stone veneers that can be adhered to walls indoors and out, granite caps for walls and steps, and other man-made and natural building materials.

Inside the showroom, the walls are lined with various samples of stone, brick, and concrete. “We can get any kind of stone that anyone might want,” explains co-general manager Christopher Genest. They have products to make raised garden beds, natural crushed stone for walkways, and natural clay bricks for chimneys, fireplaces, landscape walkways, and patios. They even have cutting-edge products

130 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

such as Comfort Block, insulated concrete building blocks that are durable and extremely energy efficient. Inspired by a similar product produced in Germany, the blocks are manufactured by Genest in Sanford.

Christopher takes particular pride in the Genestmanufactured products. Not only does he live in a Genestbuilt home (his Kennebunkport home was built using Comfort Block), he has also been working for the family business since he was 13. “We strive to put the most possible value into all our products,” he says. “Whatever money you spend now will pay for itself over the lifetime of your use.”

Founded in 1927, the company started as a manufacturing business, making hand-pressed concrete blocks at a gravel

Christopher Genest stands in front of natural stone displays in the Genest showroom in Biddeford.

pit in Sanford. Over the years, Genest has been passed down through generations (Christopher and his brother Matthew are the fourth generation) and expanded to include the Biddeford retail store, where they sell masonry products for all sorts of home projects.

However, the company is still relatively specialized. “We manufacture materials, run a retail store, and distribute products,” explains Christopher.

The focus at Genest is on high-quality, long-lasting products—they do not offer design or installation services. Instead, the company sells directly to both contractors and homeowners, offering them advice, guidance, and product insight to help steer them in the right direction.

For instance, if a couple arrives looking to update their patio, Genest will figure out whether they prefer natural stone or concrete paving stones. If the house is in a coastal area, they might suggest stone that allows more water to pass through it. Or if a contractor comes in seeking to work with a new type of stone—say, a lightweight veneer—Genest will first make sure the store carries all the tools and equipment required to assist them. In addition, Genest organizes a “boot camp” for builders every year.

“We invite all the contractors we can get, and we hold a one-day seminar that goes over our products and how to use them. We also run business-related seminars. It’s all free, and we feed them, too,” he adds. “We want them to succeed, because if they do, then we do, too.”

While many of their products will last for decades (if not centuries), it’s this strongly community-minded ethos that has kept the family-owned business on solid ground for generations. Like Maine granite and red brick, some things just never go out of style. MH+D

Samples in the showroom (opposite, top) include thin stone veneer, fullthickness veneer stones, and natural clay bricks.

Stacked up in a display are natural stone hearth and mantel samples (opposite, bottom).

TIPS FOR ECO-FRIENDLY BUILDING USING CONCRETE & STONE u“In addition to being a healthy product that

doesn’t mold or mildew, natural stone, as well as clay, brick, and concrete, is recyclable,” he says. If you’re sick of your patio, you can have it removed by a contractor, crushed into smaller pieces, and used as natural paving or landscaping stone. Local quarries will often provide this service. The Genest manufacturing plant crushes and recycles stones, too.

uIf you’re worried about runoff, or if you’re

building in an ecologically sensitive area, Genest suggests using permeable paving, which cuts back on potentially polluting runoff by allowing storm water to drain directly into the ground. “You can make your driveway into a drain filtration system by constructing a paver patio or driveway using crushed stone base and permeable pavers,” he explains. “The water falls through the gaps and into the ground, which reduces pollution.” This is particularly good for buildings in coastal areas.

uTo increase the efficiency of your woodstove,

Genest advises adding masonry behind it, which will absorb and reflect heat. “It’s a thermal mass,” he says, “which helps keep the house at a more even temperature.”

O N E S T O WAT C H Five standout artists to keep your eye on

ANN TRAINOR DOMINGUE It Takes a Village, 2016, acrylic on canvas, 30” x 30” “From its people to its rugged land that touches the sea and expands inland to the mountains, New England is my inspiration. I envision its rushing waterways that flow downward through rocky farmlands, as deep forests become the backdrop for white church steeples that guide travelers toward the center of town. The water continues onward through historic mill cities and meanders along vast marshlands back out to the unpredictable ocean, along the shores of which many New Englanders live and work. My recent

Village series honors aspects of New England life by layering textures and classic shapes, while using casually drawn lines and patterns to highlight details. I feel nostalgic for earlier times when life seemed more straightforward and it was easier to be honest, when we would try to understand each other. Disagreements were resolved over coffee or a beer, or we would agree to disagree with a handshake and a smile.

My New England artworks illuminate my sense of what community used to be, and can be again.”

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 137

ART SPOTLIGHT

JOYCE GRASSO

Morning Meditation, 2016, acrylic on canvas, 36” x 36” “Picasso once said, ‘It took me years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.’ As a former art teacher, I have learned from my young students, who were always playful and fearless in their approach to art. Their broad strokes and bright palettes were charged with energy. Since I resumed my career as a painter, I’ve approached each canvas with the same ethos, and I’ve tried to see through the same lens as a child. My materials reflect this mode of perception, as my toolkit includes bold colors, reflective strokes, multiple layers, and varied textures. I grew up in Maine, where the lulling sounds of waves breaking against the shore and the din of distant foghorns were part of my everyday existence. Maine’s simple beauty saturated my soul. It’s part of who I am. My paintings create a feeling of place more than a realistic rendition of a land- or seascape.

When we experience what a place feels like, we can access emotions and memories that escape our usual awareness.

Every one of my pieces reflects my joyful heart and sense of spontaneity. It gives me great pleasure to create works that are meaningful not only to me but to others as well.”

JENNIFER LITCHFIELD Ocean Point Rocks, 2017, acrylic on linen, 30” x 30”

“I have been living and painting in Maine for the past 21 years. Throughout these two decades I have studied and worked in watercolor, oil, and acrylic. I am now painting mostly large-scale acrylics on canvas, taking my immediate environment as my subject. Much of my work is inspired

by Maine landscapes, especially the intersection of land and sea. The water’s edge fascinates me, from the tides, rocks, and reflections to its constant change throughout the seasons. This painting, Ocean Point Rocks, is inspired by the dramatic shoreline at one of my favorite places, Ocean Point in Boothbay. I am obsessed by the textures and colors, natural art forms, and sense of enduring peace of rocks on the beach. For me, painting is about expressing and communicating my response to beauty.”

DAVID WILSON

Fall Pine, 2016, acrylic, resin, and chalk on collaged paper, 30” x 22” “I have been painting this tree for the past 10 years. It’s never quite the same, and it grows differently every time I turn my hand to it. It’s always standing alone, as a symbol, a flag, or a talisman. It grows out of my head, but I see it every day with my eye. Background and foreground flatten and interweave like the coils of Celtic knots or the unfolding of a Chinese landscape. Influences from far-flung sources and history blend to speak about my Scottish heritage and the craggy landscape of the Maine island where I live. Constantly shifting in color and mood, this russet, magenta, or cobalt evergreen growing out of the rocks glows in my imagination.”

LINCOLN PERRY

Diana’s Baths II, 2015, oil on canvas, 38” x 52” “Representational painting inherently deals with seeing and being seen. Humans are innately observers. We often study other people with mixed feelings: are we empathetic participants in their lives, or simply voyeurs who take pleasure in witnessing human life unrelated to ourselves? I’ve always been interested in the threshold between being reassured and being implicated. In the four decades that I’ve worked as an artist, I’ve tried to find topical subjects that resonate with timeless human experience. I usually set figures invented or observed in locations that are almost like theatrical sets, creating a visual story the way a director might stage a play.

I think in terms of narrative, of stories that try to make sense of our experience, which often leads to more questions than answers. Paintings that seem to offer certainty, a perfectly packaged world, run counter to my temperament.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 150.

ver 100 art and design students will graduate from Portland’s Maine College of Art (MECA) this spring. In celebration of their four years of work and to support their emerging careers in the arts, MECA has organized its annual Spring Gala, consisting of a fashion show and a bachelor of fine art thesis exposition. The runway show on May 4 features clothing created by graduating seniors in the textile and fashion design program, all modeled by MECA students and community members. The ticketed event

raises funds for the college’s scholarship program.

The 2017 BFA Thesis Exhibition opens on May 5 in conjunction with the First Friday Art Walk and runs through May 23. More than 100 installations of students’ work, including sculpture, jewelry, paintings, and mixed media, will be on display throughout the historic Porteous Building’s four floors. “Each year the thesis exhibition impresses upon me the skill and sheer talent of our graduating students,” says MECA’s development officer Dietlind Vander Schaaf. “It is not to be missed.”

Cottage Charm CAPE ARUNDEL COTTAGE PRESERVE 1976 PORTLAND ROAD, ARUNDEL capearundelcottages.com

L

ocated just 10 minutes from downtown Kennebunkport—and the area’s gorgeous beaches—the homes in Cape Arundel Cottage Preserve’s seasonal community are modeled after historic Maine cottages. Five two-bedroom floor plans, including the Birch, Saco, Casco, Katahdin, and Acadia, range from 866 to 1,350 square feet and include a loft option. With an eight-month season that stretches from May thorough December, homeowners can celebrate Maine summers as well as the holidays, including Kennebunkport’s Christmas Prelude.

The cottages are scattered around a 6,000-squarefoot community center faced in reclaimed stone from the property, which includes a fitness center, library, full kitchen for events, turreted game room, and three-story stone fireplace. Outside, a pool, waterfalls, pond with water fountain, bar, and fire pits welcome homeowners

and create a relaxing space to gather with family or meet up with neighbors. It’s all adjacent to a 68-acre preserve— formerly an orchard—where mature pines create a beautiful backdrop to walking trails that will eventually connect with the 22-mile-long Eastern Trail. With its golfcart-friendly paths, Cape Arundel Cottage Preserve is a place that invites homeowners to slow down and enjoy the Maine lifestyle, as will the planned community vegetable garden, tennis courts, and softball field.

“It’s a fantastic location where you can do a lot right on-site,” says developer and managing partner Joe Paolini, who notes that the community is a 30-minute drive to Portland and an hour and a half from Boston. Fifty cottages have been built on the Preserve, and residents, who range in age from toddlers to adults, come from as far away as California. “Everyone enjoys the lifestyle,” Paolini says. “It’s a thing of beauty.”

Each Office Is Independently Owned And Operated

A VIEW TO SEA Not just an idle phrase, but a real experience. The house was designed by an architect in 2006 to take full advantage of a never to be duplicated site, which was once the location of a vintage summer cottage. Located on Capitol Island off the coast of Southport, on the Boothbay peninsula, this 1875 summer colony is reached by its own small bridge, and is steeped in the memories of several generations of families sharing their halcyon days of growing up, and old, in the cherished environment of Maine summers.

The amenities to residents of “Capitol” include a tennis court, recreation center, large sandy beaches, marina and two docks. The house, perched high on the rocks affords 300 degree views of ocean and islands. The three stories are perfect for privacy and family gatherings. Three bedrooms, and two baths on the first floor. Large kitchen and living room on the second, and the master suite with cathedral ceilings and bath, on the third. An elevator and stairs serve all three floors. Two large open decks, and many panoramic windows, afford a true feeling of the Maine coast. Abundant wildlife, swaying sea grass, privacy and convenience. All here! New to the market. $1,450,000.

esigned for a multigenerational family’s use, this new Southport residence will overlook Cozy Harbor from a hilltop. The linear house form—effectively one room wide— maximizes views of the harbor, provides abundant daylight in every room, and allows for natural ventilation throughout. The first floor’s primary space is a great room composed of a kitchen, dining area, and sitting area. Parallel to the great room runs a porch with a screened sitting room featuring an outdoor fireplace. The slim profile of the house ends on the north side in a study with a faceted end that offers a 270-degree view. A grand stair, articulated

on the exterior as a tower, leads from the great room to a second-floor sitting room, which opens onto a deck. To take advantage of the tremendous sight lines afforded by the home’s hilltop location, the second floor includes both indoor and outdoor common spaces, two bedrooms, and an owners’ suite. An additional owners’ suite on the first floor provides single-floor living when needed. The character of the home reflects the owners’ request for a design in the grand tradition of the picturesque shingle-style houses along the coast, such as those designed by John Calvin Stevens.
