A 0.11-acre buildable lot nestled in an established Lewiston neighborhood. Public utilities available. A solid opportunity for new construction in a built-up residential area. Sold as-is.
Downtown Lewiston, located between the Androscoggin River and Bates College, is a historic and walkable Lewiston neighborhood with brick mill blocks and a riverfront streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Lisbon Street near Main Street, where storefront galleries, independent cafes, and late-night bites line the sidewalks under old mill-era facades. The Franco Center anchors the arts calendar, while the Bates Mill Complex frames the skyline with industrial-scale architecture. Museum L-A adds local history in a compact, gallery-style setting. Side streets mix loft conversions with civic buildings, and the riverwalk ties it all together with open-air views.
