Property Details for 53 Commercial Street, Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538

Prime downtown Boothbay Harbor (between Captain Sawyer's B&B and Ports of Italy Restaurant) with ocean/harbor views from multiple vantage points, on-site parking, and excellent foot/vehicle traffic. The classic New Englander (approx. 2,900± SF) is now configured entirely for lodging—with the former street-level retail/antique space converted into a 5th short-term rental—plus two upper apartments; a detached Carriage House adds ~1,000± SF with 2 bedrooms/1 bath, for ~4,400± SF total across both buildings. In 2025, three of the five VRBO-style guest spaces were operated as short-term rentals, producing ~$70,000 in rental income. Substantial improvements since the 2022 purchase position this as a flexible live-work or investment opportunity—owner-occupied lodging, boutique hospitality, or an expanded STR portfolio. Enjoy year-round harbor living steps to shops and dining, with captivating water views, versatile layouts, and valuable in-town parking.
