About this home
This beautifully restored brick house with a slate roof on Cushing Island offers a rare blend of historic character, coastal charm, and modern comfort. Originally built in 1895, the residence has undergone a complete restoration while carefully preserving its architectural integrity. With 2,143 square feet of living space, the home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, providing ample room for family, guests, or a peaceful retreat.
Inside, the home balances timeless craftsmanship with contemporary updates. A screened porch captures sweeping ocean views and overlooks the beauty of Whitehead Passage, the perfect spot to relax and take in island breezes. The property sits on a private 1.7+ acre lot framed by mature trees, gardens, and access to the island's natural surroundings.
Cushing Island offers a one-of-a-kind setting, originally envisioned as a park by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The island is rich with amenities, including scenic walking trails, gazebos, clay tennis courts, community docks and beaches, all designed to enhance appreciation of life on this seaside island. Residents enjoy a remarkable balance of seclusion and accessibility - an abundance of privacy and tranquility, along with being just minutes by boat from Portland's fantastic shops and restaurants, and the conveniences of the mainland.
This exceptional offering includes the option to purchase a mainland boat slip and 20' powerboat separately, providing ease of access and added value for the new owner. This seasonal retreat embodies the best of Casco Bay island living - ocean views, open spaces, community amenities, and a lifestyle defined by relaxation and connection to nature.
