You’ll feel like you’re a world away inside this lovely, well-appointed 2 bedroom/1½ bath cottage; but step out on one of the decks or relax on the front porch swing & you’ll see all the action of beautiful Boothbay Harbor – a true working waterfront – including lobster boats, shipyards, tour boats & pleasure crafts of all sizes – even an island – all right in front of you. You'll enjoy front row seats from your private covered balcony to watch the fireworks during the Windjammer Festival & the 4th of July.
A short 1 minute walk to the famous “Foot Bridge” brings you over the inner harbor right into “downtown” Boothbay Harbor teeming with a variety of gift shops, ice cream & candies and an authentic “salty” dockside night life.
The first level of this new cottage offers an open floor plan with kitchen, dining area & living room & sliders to great waterview/sunset deck - partially covered. The 1/2 bath is also located on first floor. The second floor offers 2 bedrooms (1 queen with sliders to the awesome waterview/sunset balcony & the other with 2 twin beds with the same great water views)- the full bath with washer/dryer shares the second floor.
Please note, the owners own home, their small marina & The Lobster Dock - a popular local restaurant that has been featured on 2 different Food Network shows – shares this open 1 acre waterfront property located directly on Atlantic Avenue on the eastside of the harbor.
