This home is on Winslow Homer Road and faces a scene that could have inspired one of the great artist's paintings. Clipperways is a grand shingled home on the water perched on Prouts Neck in Scarborough, Maine. This home was built over one hundred years ago and reflects traditional New England style. It has six bedrooms and large rooms for entertaining, kept cozy with stone fireplaces and hardwood floors. The traditional kitchen has beadboard details and a large pantry. Porches run along the front of the house offering ample space to take in the ever-changing ocean views. This home is listed at $5.5 million.

Fantastic house! Nice archicture and great seaviews. But who did the interiors, the Salvation Army thrift shop? Ugh!

Those interiors are what real New England summer house interiors look like.
It isn't Newport. The furnishings are usually old, disused and abused family stuff that isn't quite right for the main family house anymore, but is perfect for the "beach" house...in Manie, Mass, RI and CT...and at the lakes in NH, this is the norm for the older houes's and families. The large number of twin beds is so that more children/grandchildren and friends of both have a place to sleep.

Although dated, it is the NE that I remember from a long ago youth. (sigh!)
