Property Description
Every Higgins Beach cottage has a story. This one is waiting for its next chapter. Wake up to the sunrise and fall asleep to the sound of the waves. Perched above the sands of Higgins Beach, this quintessential beachfront cottage captures the simple pleasures that have drawn generations to Maine's coast. Built in 1960, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage offers bold, unobstructed ocean views and front-row seats to ever-changing tides, spectacular sunrises, and days spent with your toes in the sand. Spend your mornings enjoying coffee as the beach comes to life, take a refreshing swim before breakfast, or unwind after an evening stroll along the shoreline taking in the sunset - here, every day begins and ends with the ocean. Inside, the bright and inviting cottage features a surprisingly spacious primary bedroom, a cozy 2nd bedroom, a welcoming living room with a picture window framing the waves, a quaint kitchen and dining area that share the same breathtaking views, and an unfinished basement ideal for storing beach chairs, surfboards, and all your coastal essentials. The home has sustained some storm damage, offering the next owner the opportunity to explore its future potential as part of their vision for the property. Full of character and classic Higgins Beach charm, this is the perfect place to enjoy summers by the sea while embracing the timeless appeal of one of Maine's most treasured beachfront communities. Whether you envision peaceful summer mornings, a highly desirable rental property, securing an oceanfront investment, or simply enjoying the cottage while considering what comes next, this exceptional Higgins Beach property is ready for its next chapter.
