Your arrival sets the tone. A stunning Manchurian Crab Apple tree greets you as you step onto the wrap around custom built front porch.Dressed in fragrant snow-white blooms rich with character in every season. It's the kind of tree that makes people slow down,something special is behind the front door.
Welcome inside this quintessential Maine bungalow, steps from Willard Beach and tucked into one of South Portland's most beloved walkable communities. This is the coastal cottage that captures everything people move to Maine for, the salt air, tight community, beauty, and a pace of life that feels like a deep exhale.
The cottage opens beautifully to an open concept design. The living room, dining room, and kitchen flows together beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, anchored by rich hardwood floors that run the full length of the space. Natural light moves through all day long.
Grand yet deeply livable, enjoy the effortless feel for a quiet morning or a room full of people after a perfect beach day. Complete with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Tucked on the property, the detached two-bedroom ADU is a rare bonus. Complete with electric, lighting, ceiling fan, Rinnai propane heat, and refrigerator.
Guest suite, family retreat, income rental, or the most coveted bunkhouse in the neighborhood. With Maine's ADU legislation taking effect July 1, 2026, the potential here is extraordinary. Willard Beach is just steps away. Views of Fort Scammel, Peaks Island, and Cushing Island stretch across Casco Bay.
Watch ferries and lobster boats while buoys clang offshore. Tidal pools delight at low tide. Walk north to Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, in operation since 1897. Walk south to Fisherman's Point where Portland Head Light comes into full view and Cape Elizabeth less than a mile away. Willard Square is your neighborhood delight. Ice cream at Willard Scoops, a morning pastry at the Willard Bakehouse. Kids at the playground. This is coastal living without compromise.
