W hile the structure itself was built in 1915, with a field- stone foundation, fieldstone walls, and gardens dropping toward the sea, this seven-room, three-bedroom condo was remodeled in 1991. The very large liv- ing room goes front-to-back, following the lines of the original mansion. There’s a din- ing room, kitchen, downstairs bedroom, and study with hardwood built-ins. The study was likely an old-fashioned sleeping porch that’s been closed in. It overlooks the creek and back woods. You feel as though you’re in a tree house. So maybe you didn’t get the unit that was once Tarkington’s Jac- obean paneled library downstairs. This is the one with the view. Picture windows in the dining area frame telescopic vistas of the beaches. You can also gaze at the Ken- nebunk River, where Tarkington kept his beloved schooner Regina at his boathouse, “The Floats.” Upstairs are two bedrooms and two baths, one en suite. Goodies overall include a private patio, security, pantry, main-floor 1 part Lemon Juice 3 parts Cointreau 3 parts Brandy Sidecar bedroom, full bath, and parking in a detached garage. You’ll love Seawood. In fact, Tarkington would dare you to bring it into the 21st cen- tury. As he writes in The Magnificent Am- bersons, “There aren’t any old times. When times are gone they’re not old, they’re dead! There aren’t any times but new times!” Tax- es are $5,215. n
