About this home

Set on more than three protected acres just steps from the Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club, this 4,900-square-foot home pairs its 1845 origin with the 1990 expansion designed by local architect Walter Hill- retaining the former farm's coastal Maine character. A granite wall and mature plantings screen the front porch from street noise, setting a tone of calm and privacy from the moment you arrive. Conifers, flowering trees, shrubs, and ground covers frame water views toward Boothbay Harbor and out to Fisherman's Island. Inside, the original 1845 home and the 1990 addition flow seamlessly together. A first-floor bedroom suite offers single-level living, while the primary suite occupies its own wing upstairs. Two full baths and a half bath serve the main level; upstairs are three more baths. A large, screened sunroom opens to a backyard deck overlooking the extensive lawn island gardens. Climb to the widow's walk for a sweeping vantage out to sea. A detached 1868 barn provides versatile space for storage, a studio, a workshop, or garage. The attached 1845 barn is a typical Maine artifact, full of antique (surely unsafe) ladders and early farm implements. Location is everything here: walk to town or simply step next door to the Yacht Club for tennis, sailing lessons, moorings, launch service, dining, and a full calendar of member activities. Boothbay Harbor's amenities are minutes away, including a nearby Urgent Care facility. The home has year-round town water and sewer. Truly, a once-in-a-generation offering for buyers seeking history, privacy, and true harbor-town living.
