Not sure I would necessarily describe it as modest. It is very tasteful and not ostentatious. I'd love to have one like it.

Husband of George H.W. Bush’s cousin has heart attack at Maine retreat
Updated: 9:17 a.m. CT Aug 22, 2007
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine - An 81-year-old houseguest suffered a fatal heart attack at the summer home of former President George H.W. Bush.
John C. Jansing, the husband of Bush’s cousin Shelley Bush Jansing, was taken by paramedics late Tuesday to the emergency room at Southern Maine Medical Center in Biddeford. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
“Jack was a wonderful man,” the former president said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and their three children. Barbara and I will miss him terribly.”

I've met Mr. Jansing a few times, his Harbor Springs home on Little Traverse Bay isn't that far from my hangout on Grand Traverse. He was known in Petoskey & Charlevoix (where I met him).
RIP
Bush’s fault.
I was thinking about pellets from Cheney’s shotgun...
Thank you for the information on Mr. Jansing.
I will be in the Traverse City and Charlevoix area visiting next week. Will have to see if me parents knew Mr. Jansing or know of him.
RIP and prayers for the Jansing family
Ex-president???? That negatively biased term used to be reserved only for Nixon. So now all former presidents will be referred to as ex or only just ones named Bush?
Lame stream media strikes again.
Mainicide?
This incident will get alot more scrutiny from the MSM than Vince Foster’s death. The media is society’s watchdog, don’t ya know. /sarc
Yep only ex-presidents named Bush are labeled that way.
I have seen Bill Clinton interviewed a number of times after his presidency ended, and invariably the interviewer says he/she welcomes “President Clinton”.
And it applies to others too. John Edwards is always addressed as “Senator Edwards” though he no longer is a senator.
Did Bush the elder sell his ocean front house in Kenebunk? Or is this a different place? It had a great location and was actually pretty modest.
Same place, you have an incorrect spelling of the location.
Or maybe they just couldn’t find an Aggie to write the headline? UT Alums are Texas Ex’s, Aggie Alums are ‘former students’ (anyone who darkened College Station’s doors can join :).

>>Aggie Alums are ‘former students’ (anyone who darkened College Station’s doors can join :).<<
Aggie alums are Aggies. No “ex” or anything needed. The school refers to the alumni as Former Students just to distinguish, and entry is a bit more stringent than you suggest: one has to actually attend A&M.
OK, color me a moron. I misread former president Bush as former summer home of Bush.
I’ve stayed in the town right next to it and the house is beautiful. By modest, I meant it appears to blend into the surroundings and is not what I would expect an ex-president to have.
Been To Kennebunkport a couple times - I don’t know of a more beautiful place to die....
RIP
But not graduate...
Anyway, I knew I catch at least one! ;>)
Bush: Ex-president
Clinton: Sex-president
I hope to see GHW Bush and Barbra on MTV Cribs one day........
I have NEVER heard Clinton referred to as our ex-president.
RIP
