Set directly on the sands of Scarborough Beach, The Bird offers a rare chance to own a true beachfront home in Prouts Neck, one of Maine's most storied coastal enclaves. Originally built in 1958 and expanded over the years, this six-bedroom, five-bath contemporary residence now provides nearly 5,000± square feet of light-filled living space.
With an east facing orientation, the home is designed to capture ocean sunrises and bathe interiors in natural light throughout the day. Walls of glass, cathedral ceilings, and skylights frame wide open views of the Atlantic, while sliding doors create a seamless connection to multiple decks and covered porches. This effortless indoor-outdoor flow defines the lifestyle here, inviting morning coffee overlooking the surf, long summer days at the beach, and evenings spent under starlit skies.
The property's nearly half-acre setting includes 150'± of private sandy frontage and its own boardwalk to Scarborough Beach, ensuring direct and easy access to one of southern Maine's most beloved stretches of shoreline. While expansive enough for large gatherings, the home also offers spaces for quiet retreat, making it equally suited for hosting family and friends or enjoying peaceful moments by the sea. Membership in the Prouts Neck Association brings privacy and exclusivity, with private roads and a community steeped in history. Long celebrated for its rugged beauty and artistic heritage most famously through the seascapes of Winslow Homer, Prouts Neck remains one of New England's most desirable summer communities. The Bird is a legacy property that combines contemporary architecture, a rare sandy beachfront setting, and an unmatched coastal lifestyle. The offering is seldom available on this coveted peninsula.
