East Boothbay Gardens

Spread out between multiple sitting areas, a spacious kitchen, and three floors at this expansive 4BR/3.5BA East Boothbay home. Outdoors, a sprawling deck, gazebo, and gorgeous garden offers an outdoor haven for dining and sunny-day relaxation. The third floor also has a widow’s walk offering a view towards the ocean. Drive 10 minutes to Boothbay Harbor, the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, or 15 minutes to the Boothbay Harbor Country Club. You’re also under a 10-minute stroll to the acclaimed Carriage House Restaurant, offering a modern menu of New England-inspired dishes. ABOUT THE HOUSE There’s a fresh coastal feel throughout this stylish home, offering a relaxing home base after a day of outdoor fun. Curl up on the sectional sofa or cushioned chairs in the main sitting area. Opposite, a bookshelf contains an entertainment center with a 48’ flat screen TV. Steps away, chairs and couches furnish two additional sitting areas — perfect for group chit-chat and planning day trips. The chef in your group will love the large and contemporary kitchen, complete with a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is a great social space too, with a central island seating three. Share sit-down meals around the eight-person dining table. A sprawling deck overlooking the garden boasts cushioned chairs and a six-person dining table for al fresco meals. A wooden walkway leads to a gazebo, where another dining table seats four. There’s also a gas grill for afternoon barbecues. The home is spread across three floors, with total sleeping space for 12 guests. On the entry-level, the master suite features two queen beds and ample storage space. Guests here have their own en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, garden views and a glimpse of the ocean await in a second bedroom featuring a king bed, two comfy chairs, and a private deck with a table seating two. An en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower. A third bedroom offers the same impressive views, a plush queen bed, and a chaise lounge. The kid-friendly fourth bedroom comes with two twin-over-twin bunk beds. On the top floor, a bonus living/sleeping area offers the best ocean views in the house. A daybed (with a trundle beneath) and two sitting chairs furnish this tucked-away space. The house also has a guest bathroom with a tub/shower combination and a half bath. Extra amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a washer/dryer. Driveway parking is available for four cars.
