Exceptional Boothbay opportunity! Meticulously and comprehensively renovated, this distinctive home has been thoughtfully transformed with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and preserving its character while providing the comfort and functionality of a thoroughly updated property. The extensive rehabilitation offers buyers the rare opportunity to enjoy a beautifully finished home without taking on the uncertainty and expense of a major renovation.
Ideally located on the Boothbay Peninsula, 978 Wiscasset Road puts you within easy reach of the area's many amenities, including shopping, acclaimed restaurants, galleries, marinas, beaches, the ocean and the renowned Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the convenient proximity to Boothbay Harbor Country Club, while downtown Boothbay Harbor and its vibrant waterfront are just minutes away.
The property has also quickly proven itself as an appealing short-term rental, attracting bookings soon after being introduced to the market. This early rental activity offers compelling potential for buyers seeking a Maine getaway that can generate income when not personally enjoyed.
A rare combination of high-quality rehabilitation, coastal Maine lifestyle, convenient location and demonstrated short-term rental demand, this property is equally well suited as a year-round residence, vacation retreat or investment opportunity.
