About This Home
As of December 2019The 'Boathouse' is a true Maine oceanfront retreat - the perfect spot to enjoy the beach, panoramic ocean views, and just walking distance to restaurants and the harbor! The spacious wrap-around veranda and sun parlor offer endless opportunities for large family lobster bakes a fresco dining, or just to relax and take in the views & sea breezes with a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine. The oceanfront fire pit is a great place to toast marshmallows, cook the catch of the day, or wind down with fun-filled conversation. With 6 bedrooms & 2.5 baths, the floor plan is great for entertaining family and friends, & offers bedrooms and bath on the first floor. Impeccably maintained, and lovingly furnished in the tradition of a Maine seaside cottage, the Boathouse has a history of generating $51,000- $61,000 per year in rental income, and/ or can be enjoyed as a private family residence. Sun, swim, walk the 7 mile beach, fish, or just relax - just minutes from the jetport!
