Great opportunity in the desirable town of Hampden! The interior of this home has been brought down to the studs, and is now a blank canvas for you to tastefully renovate. This 2,700 sq ft. farmhouse offers two heat pumps, wide-pine floors throughout, and historical characteristics to feature. After a recent fire, which was fortunately contained in the garage area, leaving the rest of the home structurally intact, this home is awaiting your improvements. With a renovated wrap-around deck, a concrete slab in place to build a garage, and a natural gas meter available if conversion is desired, this home is ready to be revitalized. Amazing location and opportunity. Come check it out!
With its unbeatable location in a serene country setting right next to Bangor, this gorgeous historical farmhouse has always captured attention. Peaceful fields, stunning sunsets year-round, views from every window, and ample land for your privacy. The wraparound farmer's porch has been renovated with brand-new cedar flooring and new supports. Other features include: original staircase, wide pine floors throughout the entire house, huge attic space for storage above the kitchen/dinning area (can be converted into a living space). This home has a lot to offer. Plus, two newer fully operational heat pumps/ACs enhance HVAC efficiency, while natural gas availability (with a meter already installed) makes future upgrades hassle-free. Despite a recent garage fire, the structure remains completely undamaged, having undergone thorough gutting to prevent any potential residual smoke odors. All you need to do is install walls, doors, and ceilings, and give a light sanding to the already finished beautiful wide pine floors to restore their original luster. Bring back the two-bay two-story garage (on the existing concrete foundation) to complete the authentic look and functionality. Consider adding improvements as well, like an additional bathroom. Included in the listing are photos from before the incident, providing a glimpse of the home's potential. There's absolutely no reason why this house cannot be brought back to its original state or even better. Its undeniable curb appeal has always made it stand out on one of Hampden's most desirable streets. Calling thoughtful and respectful investors!
