About This Home

As of July 2019

Feel the soft sand between your toes just outside the door of this quintessential Maine Cottage located on Wells Beach. Originally built in 1900, this home has been updated within the past ten years. The first level of living features the kitchen, full bathroom, and dining area which adjoins a spacious living room and a first-floor bedroom. Large picture windows frame the crashing surf and a slider door access the rear yard and deck. The second level provides three additional bedrooms and a full bath. This is an opportunity for an income producing property or for a vacation retreat for years of memories to be made. The home is being offered with furniture, rental ready!
