About This Home

As of December 2025

Owned by an experienced builder, this 3BR/2BA antique home on the Back River Road in Boothbay has undergone tremendous renovation. The interior is cheerful, with abundant light, exposed beams, and a pellet stove for heat and ambiance. In addition to updating interior cosmetics, the house has received important and lasting improvements, such as new insulation, wiring, plumbing, structural fortifications, and more. Other satisfying elements include a large barn with attached sheds and second floor storage, a 12' x 24' composite deck with west-facing views of the private rear lawn, a mudroom just off the kitchen, and two full bathrooms.
