About this home
More Room. More Possibilities. More Higgins Beach. Less than 100 feet from the sand, this Higgins Beach home offers room to spread out, generous parking and glimpses of three coastal landscapes. Here, everyday comfort meets the unmistakable charm of this beloved beach community. Offering 1,656 square feet, three generously sized bedrooms and two full baths, this home offers the space and flexibility to make beach living your own. Whether hosting loved ones for a summer weekend or enjoying a quiet coastal escape, there's room for it all. Hardwood floors, charming built-ins and a preserved exposed brick chimney add warmth & character to the living room, while an updated kitchen with new cabinetry & an induction cooktop brings modern convenience to this coastal setting. Glimpses of the ocean, river and marsh offer different perspectives on the surrounding landscape, while ocean breezes and the sound of waves bring the coast into everyday life. Outside, Trex decking & a fenced backyard create an inviting setting for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying Maine's beautiful coastal seasons. When guests arrive, the generous driveway offers something especially valuable at Higgins Beach: plenty of off-street parking. Built in 1981, the home also features HardiePlank shingle-style siding, a standing seam metal roof and a heat pump water heater, adding practical appeal to its coastal character. Never rented, this home offers a clean slate for its next owner. Keep it as a personal beach retreat, enjoy it throughout the year or explore its potential as a rental investment. The choice is yours. Beyond the property is the rich, vibrant Higgins Beach community, where familiar faces, coastal traditions and a shared love of this special place create a sense of belonging beyond the summer months. More than a place to spend your beach days, this is an opportunity to make Higgins Beach part of your everyday life.
Higgins Beach, located between Scarborough Beach State Park and Crescent Beach State Park, is a coastal and residential Cape Elizabeth neighborhood with a wide sandy shoreline and a low-rise cottage streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Higgins Beach Inn and the beach access paths off Spurwink Avenue, where surfboards, dog walkers, and sunset strollers set the tempo. Shingled cottages and compact beach homes line narrow lanes, with salt air and dune grass shaping the palette. The tidal Spurwink River and its marsh edges add a quieter counterpoint to the open Atlantic. Higgins Beach Inn and The Salty Dog Café act as familiar local anchors, while the Higgins Beach Market keeps the essentials close to the sand. Beach days, river walks, and porch-lit evenings define the rhythm here.
