About This Home
Just a block from the ocean at Ferry Beach, this bungalow is big on charm with everything you need and nothing you don't. Simple and sweet - it's the kind of cottage that has defined Southern Maine beach living for generations.
With updated heating and cooling, 2 bedrooms, a front porch for your morning coffee, an outdoor shower to rinse off after a beach day, plus a back deck and patio for lazy evenings, this little cottage could be just what the doctor ordered. A compact footprint and unbeatable location, make it is as practical as it is charming. Easy to care for and perfectly positioned for summer escapes, it also offers excellent rental potential for those looking to share the experience—and offset costs—while not in use.
Super convenient to Ocean Park and Camp Ellis, 10 minutes from the Maine Turnpike and Amtrak., 25 minutes to Portland. Whether you're dreaming of a year-round seaside getaway or a smart investment with built-in charm, this beach block bungalow puts you right where you want to be: close to the surf, steps to the sand, and in the heart of Maine's coast.
