KENNEBUNK – Two miles from the beach via Summer Street and Sea Road, and even closer to shops and restaurants in the town center, here is an immaculate home on a beautifully landscaped and hardscaped, acre-plus lot.

Set well back from the road across a broad expanse of lawn, the house is ringed by trees/woods on three sides, and so enjoys great privacy. The home was built in 2006, but it feels 2014-new thanks to scrupulous maintenance by the sellers, while features such as hardwood floors throughout, well-chosen interior paint colors, and a flexible floor plan enhance character rarely seen in newer construction.

The main, open-concept living area extends from a monitor-heated sunroom accessing the two-level deck, through a dining area set into a window bay, into the living room, which has a gas fireplace on a brick hearth. Across the bar – counters are honed granite – the gourmet kitchen’s appliances, including double wall oven, are Viking Professional, and stainless. Cabinets are a lovely, tawny maple.

The formal dining room, at the front of the house, also makes a great den/library, crafts room, etc. Laundry is in an enclosure in the first-floor bath, off the mudroom.

On the second level – note the red accents on the stairs’ risers – the master suite occupies the south wing, and has a huge bedroom with plenty of space for multiple uses, such as study and sitting areas, and even exercise (a treadmill fits neatly into the dormer alcove); his and hers double closets, and a pretty bath with vessel sink.

In the center of the hall, behind French doors with a transom above, there’s a cool and spacious office whose interior wall is windowed to maximize light. The office could also become a fourth bedroom, of course. Bedrooms two and three are back-and-front, and served by a full bath.

The exterior-access, full basement is low-ceilinged, but completely functional for all the storage space one could want. Four-zone heat is supplied by a high-end, Biasi boiler. Lot bonuses include many ornamental trees and plants, and a handy garden shed.
