Timeless New England charm awaits in this classic Cape. Set on a level, well-landscaped 0.55-acre lot, this 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers 1,797± sq ft, blending historic character with untapped potential. The classic Cape design showcases a welcoming center entrance and symmetrical façade that create enduring curb appeal. Inside are eight rooms with great bones, ready for a buyer with vision to restore and reimagine the space to its full potential. Additional features include an unfinished basement with interior access, paved driveway, detached shed, and oil-fired forced air heat with a new oil tank installed in 2026. This is a true fixer-upper opportunity -- the home needs renovation throughout, making it ideal for an investor, contractor, or homeowner ready to roll up their sleeves and bring their own style to a solid Cape structure. The location is hard to beat: just minutes from Kittery Foreside's shops and restaurants, a short drive to downtown Portsmouth, and close to everything the Seacoast has to offer -- beaches, dining, boutique shopping, and easy access to Routes 1 and 95. This property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Kittery's history while making it your own. Come see this home waiting for its next owner to bring new life into it.
West Kittery, located between the Piscataqua River waterfront and the Eliot town line, is a historic and coastal Kittery neighborhood with working harborside edges and wooded back roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 1 corridor near the Kittery Trading Post complex, where outlet storefronts, gear shops, and steady traffic set a brisk, commercial tempo. Older capes and saltbox-style homes mix with newer builds tucked behind stone walls and pines. Back lanes lead to tidal creeks and marsh views that shift with the light. Fort Foster’s rocky shoreline and trails add a rugged outdoor counterpoint. Community touchstones include Kittery Trading Post, the Seacoast Repertory Theatre, and Tributary Brewing Company.
