40 Eaton Road, Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Description

An exquisite and spacious custom waterfront home with a deep water dock and waterside pool—and a gazebo, deck and screened porch—all with panoramic views.

Set on the shores of one of Maine's most prestigious ports of call, 40 Eaton Road is an extraordinary coastal estate in the grand style with all the modern comforts and amenities your lifestyle demands. Enjoy a rare and privileged view of Maine's storied coast in a home built to share with family and friends.

This gorgeous shingle-style custom home faces sweeping views of the water—and offers so many ways to revel in those views. Step out on to the open porch, screened porch or deck and take in the sea breeze and the sunshine. These are your jumping-off points for three seasons of outdoor living—morning coffee while listening to birdsong, spreading out a picnic for the children when they come in from the pool or sitting down to dinner al fresco with friends as lights play over the water.

The romantic screened gazebo is the perfect hideaway for reading novels on a rainy day or escaping from evening bugs or the noontime sun.  The stunning waterside heated pool and hot tub ensure that you can  enjoy a dip in almost any weather—your own oceanside spa! The expansive lawn leads down to your own private deepwater dock, where you can tie up the boat, hail friends sailing by or cast a line. In addition to the dock and float there are three deepwater moorings, all sheltered from erosion and the worst of Maine's stormy weather by a reef. Boothbay Harbor is one of Maine's busiest pleasure boating destinations, and reserved space in its waters is in great demand.

This home is as thoughtfully appointed and luxurious inside as out. The breathtaking landscape is part of your home decor, as banks of large, sun-drenched windows frame the view and capture the light. The exquisite moldings, beadboard and built-ins throughout the home mix classic New England detailing with crisp nautical touches.  Each of this home's many rooms offers details to enchant and delight.

Whether you are a casual or gourmet cook, you will love the custom kitchen and its water views. State-of-the-art appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry with whimsical touches of a ship's galley set this room apart. Spread out your mise in place on the center island and chat with dinner guests while you prepare the meal. There's plenty of room, and this is a space friends and family will want to be.

The spacious living room and den both boast water views, gorgeous woodwork and warm hearths to draw close to on chilly winter nights. There's a separate home office—letting you escape from the city and still keep up with work—and the hobbyists and gardeners in the family will love the workshop and potting shed. The attached 24' x 48' barn gives you ample storage and 20' ceiling clearance for cars, boats, kayaks and canoes, skis, sleds and any other sporting gear your active lifestyle requires.

It is the generous space for guests, however, that truly sets this home apart. The master bedroom suite is your own romantic private oasis with soothing water views, a warm fireplace and a private screened porch leading directly to the pool deck. There are five additional bedrooms—including a guest wing with four bedrooms (including two suites with water views) and three bathrooms. Invite those you love to stay a weekend or to stay a season—there is plenty of room and privacy for all.

And when you want to leave home and explore, all the delights of Boothbay Harbor are right outside your door. 40 Eaton Road is close to the village center, and your children or grandchildren will love taking sailing lessons at one of two nearby yacht clubs. Enjoy dinner out, concerts, boutiques, museums, festivals, summertime fireworks and parades and much, much more. Spend your days exploring or simply stroll with loved ones along the surf. This is the Maine coast, and this, at last, is your home.
