Right at the 'back gate' of Bowdoin College, this truly special property offers some truly tempting options! Presently a family compound, the new owner can continue that use, owner-occupy and rent 1 detached ADU, or rent both for a great ROI! The main house faces Harpswell Rd. & includes 2 BRs up, and a full bath on each level (laundry in 2nd fl bath), along with fully applianced kitchen, dining & living rooms, & 1C garage! Behind it, and accessible from Garrison St. , is a 2-level cottage, approx. 960 sq. ft. , that is just too cute & comfy to describe! 1st floor is open Kitchen/dining/living, with a Murphy bed, laundry H/U, and full bath with shower. Upstairs, (stairs are a bit steep), you'll find a huge, room with skylights and cathedral ceiling! Cottage shares water/sewer with main house but is on its own electrical meter and is heated with a new Rinnai. The shared rear yard is gorgeous, there is natural gas at the street, it's all in GREAT condition, and it will set fire to your imagination!
Right across the street from the Bowdoin College campus sits this charming 1920's home. Beautiful wood floors & woodwork, fully remodeled inside including new wiring, plumbing & insulation in exterior walls. New appliances & windows throughout!
