Some beach homes come with a long to-do list. This one comes ready for beach days. Built in 2017, this thoughtfully designed Higgins Beach home offers a rare combination of modern construction, coastal character and the opportunity to simply move in and enjoy. At the beach, newer construction comes with a major advantage. This home was designed with flood-zone requirements already addressed, avoiding many of the questions and challenges that can come with renovating an older beach property. From the moment you arrive, the house feels connected to its setting. Light, airy interiors and soft coastal finishes echo the colors just outside, while windows and thoughtfully positioned spaces keep glimpses of the water part of everyday life. Open the door after a morning on the sand, rinse off in the outdoor shower and settle into a home designed to make beach living feel effortless. Mornings may be best upstairs, where the vaulted primary suite faces the ocean and captures the water beyond. Evenings invite you back downstairs to gather around the fireplace, turn on the music and let the day linger. And when the seasons change, heat pumps, fireplaces and a generator make this more than a place reserved for summer. But perhaps the best spot is the front porch. It's a place for coffee in the morning, a glass of wine at the end of the day, catching the ocean view and watching Higgins Beach life unfold around you. Here, you're not simply buying a house near the beach-you're becoming part of a community that makes people want to return year after year. No renovation roadmap to figure out. No waiting to make it yours. Just unpack, settle in and start enjoying Higgins Beach.
