About This Home
Just a block from the ocean at Ferry Beach, this classic bungalow captures the easy charm of Southern Maine coastal living. Thoughtfully updated while staying true to its cottage roots, it offers everything you need for relaxed beachside living--without unnecessary fuss.
Inside, you'll find two bedrooms, updated heating and cooling, and a comfortable, inviting atmosphere that feels instantly welcoming.
Rental opportunities abound - no restrictions and the home sleeps up to 6, with 2 bedrooms and the futon in the living room. Estimated rental potential is $2,000 per week in season and $2,000 per month in the off season.
Start the day with coffee on the front porch, spend afternoons at the beach just steps away, then rinse off in the outdoor shower before settling in for quiet evenings on the back deck.
Compact, efficient, and easy to maintain, this property sports a brand new roof and is perfectly suited for weekend escapes, year-round enjoyment, or investment potential. Its highly desirable location at Ferry Beach, near Ocean Park, Camp Ellis, and Old Orchard Beach, makes this cozy home especially appealing as a seasonal rental opportunity with strong guest appeal.
Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the Maine Turnpike and Amtrak, and only 25 minutes from Portland, this coastal getaway offers the rare combination of seaside simplicity and everyday accessibility. Whether you're searching for a charming retreat, a low-maintenance beach home, or an income-producing property along Maine's coast, this beach-block bungalow delivers relaxed nostalgia and just plain fun. (Sellers have had preliminary plans drawn for a new build.)
