Das School Street Haus • Dock Square Village

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

Set on the site of the original 1820 schoolhouse and 100 steps from Dock Square, it offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a chef's kitchen and inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces. While newly listed under current ownership, the home has welcomed guests for years and continues a long tradition of memorable Kennebunkport stays.

Fine Italian linens, Aesop products, TOTO washlets and sun-filled interiors create a refined stay.

Remarkably private for its 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*
The spacious chef's kitchen serves as the heart of the home.

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