Thank you for taking an online tour of our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom farmhouse located in the heart of downtown Boothbay Harbor, Maine! What started out as a dream, turned into a wish, then a goal and finally through countless hours of planning/project management, including owner-led architectural design and construction, our 140 year old farmhouse by the sea was realized!
We seized an opportunity in 2020 to create something extraordinary during a time when worry made us feel almost powerless.
Incorporating the need to feel close, happy and fulfilled, we created the Helm House. Our home by the sea was intended to be a personal and intimate getaway that provided everything needed to find reprieve from the chaos of everyday. Every detail inside and outside of the home was thoughtfully planned and executed with the intent to use it as vacation home for our own family. However, after lots of heart-to-hearts with family and our closest friends, we decided to share The Helm House with others.
Before your visit, get acquainted with the home, rooms, layout and amenities by viewing the images below. Still have questions, concerns or want to know more details about the property?

Elegantly equipped with a focus on food presentation, the kitchen area includes brand new appliances, leathered granite countertops, wine fridge, breakfast bar, Nespresso machine and everything needed to have a traditional Lobster and Clam bake. Also located on the first floor are a mud room and half bathroom. Both showcase elegant slate floors and vaulted shiplap ceilings. The mudroom offers ample places to hang coats, store shoes, umbrellas and features a large chalkboard to channel your inner creativity.

EXTERIOR
Full first-floor wrap around deck provides extra space to dine, relax or people watch from above. Keep your beverages cold and trips to the fridge at a minimum with our outdoor patio cooler. Being situated at one of the highest points in town, the harbor below looks dazzling day and night while gazing at it from an outdoor dining table that seats six and Adirondack seating arrangement for two. An exterior spiral staircase leads up to a rooftop deck. This spectacular outdoor space allows you to enjoy 320 degree views of the harbor with seating for six.
