Steal: Updated 1929 Gambrel Walking Distance To Shops For $495K
Who says seaside living has to cost a fortune? This 1929 Gambrel is a steal with a prime location just steps from town. The three-bedroom, one-full-and-one-half-bathroom Gambrel beauty is also filled with charm! This includes gorgeous hardwoods, a quartz kitchen, and lushly landscaped lawn.
What is a Gambrel? It’s a type of gable roof with two slopes on each side, the upper being less steep than the lower. Architecture buffs prize the style for its unique character and appeal. But looks aren’t all this charmer affords.
It has a prime location too! From this steal you can walk to grab coffee or a bite at the seaside shops and restaurants – a huge plus for those who want authentic New England living.
According to the listing, “The perfectly landscaped yard with perennials, raised vegetable beds, blueberries, and raspberries is completed with the perfect white picket fence. Sidewalks to town, short drive to the beaches, and minutes to the Turnpike. A perfect location.”
How about that for a Kennebunk steal!
