OLD ORCHARD BEACH – Of the condominium developments that tower along and above East Grand Avenue, The SeaScape at Grand Beach is surely the most stylish and architecturally pleasing. Tucked just inside the Scarborough line, it’s also the condo building closest to Pine Point – an advantageous location. And SeaScape also offers the finest pool on the beach, a sands-and-seagrass-level beauty that seems to “bring the ocean in” through its wall of glass.

This oceanfront site is 1.5 miles from the Pine Point breakwater, and about the same from Old Orchard’s famous pier; i.e., this area of Grand Beach is as quiet as one can find. SeaScape’s being a gated community also enhances privacy.

The views – directly out to little Bluff and Stratton islands, northeast to Prouts Neck, and southwest to Wood Island Light – are as splendid as can be imagined. On the third level of SeaScape’s eight, this condominium is ideally situated to maximize those views, while also making you feel very much “on” the beach.

The sands are even closer when you step out onto the 36-foot-wide balcony of this beautifully bright condo; and the ocean is ever-present, whether you gazing out from the master suite, or the guest suite, or anywhere in the long, central main living area, which extends from the kitchen through the dining and sitting spaces.

At the back of the wide hall on each level, there is a shared “sunset balcony” that looks west over the marshy fields across the street. Next to the fourth-floor balcony is another condo listed for sale by the same broker. Unit No. 4F is an 835-square-foot, one-bedroom home with both ocean and marsh views, and a beautifully updated granite-surfaces kitchen. The corner unit with south-side balcony is listed at $289,900.

Residents are permitted to have one dog (no size limit). Each unit has its own storage enclosure. Bicycles, kayaks, etc., can be left in a covered outdoor area off the poolside patio, where one can grill and entertain.

Note that the pool room can be reserved for parties, and has its own little kitchen. Parking for two vehicles is provided; there is a guest parking lot, too.

Units may be rented (for significant income especially at peak season); but for a minimum period of one month.

The 1,061-square-foot condominium, Unit 3D at 221 East Grand Ave., Old Orchard Beach, is listed by Nancy Z. Moreshead of Best Maine Beach Properties, and is being shown by appointment. Please contact Nancy at 329-3545 or at nancyzbythesea@gmail.com.
