Property Description
Tucked into one of Yarmouth's most welcoming neighborhoods on Cousins Island, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of laid-back Maine lifestyle buyers dream about. The ground floor offers extended living space with two first-floor bedrooms, a full bath, and open-concept kitchen, dining and living room. Upstairs, a second-floor office offers a quiet, dedicated space to work from home. The finished basement is a standout, featuring a fun, active climbing wall that turns any afternoon into adventure time -- plus flexible space for a rec room, home gym, or media area. Outdoor living and access to nature is just as impressive. A giant deck is made for entertaining, think summer barbecues and gatherings with room to spare. A screened-in porch offers a space to relax morning or night. Beyond that, a lovely, open yard invites lawn games and lazy evenings under the trees, with the added bonus of abutting the Katherine Tinker Preserve for extra privacy and peace of mind that the view stays wild. Call yourself an Islander here, with just a short stroll or drive from Madeleine Point public beach and Town landing, perfect for launching a kayak or watching the sunset. Just a half mile in the other direction, connected via the brand-new sidewalk and walking path along Cousins Street, head to Sandy Point Beach, a popular local spot for sunbathing and swimming. Beyond the property line, you're joining the amazing Yarmouth community, a town known for its scenic Royal River trails, charming village center, and genuine small-town warmth. Whether it's a morning coffee run downtown or an evening walk to the water, life at 261 Cousins Street puts it all within easy reach. Don't miss this rare chance to own a piece of Yarmouth's coastal island charm. Property has 4 bedrooms, consistent with Town of Yarmouth property records; septic system designed for 3-bedroom capacity.
