Historic Queen Anne Victorian built in 1879 by a shipbuilder. Features period details, fireplaces, built-ins, beautiful wood work, stained glass windows. The house's generous spaces & multiple bedrooms offer many options for hosting visitors. Zoned for two-units; for sale AS IS. New NG furnace & on-demand hot water. Given the extensive new development of town-homes, a boutique hotel with a restaurant going in behind the property, & the expansion of Maine Medical, this is a beauty in a great location.

B2B
Community Business District
To provide neighborhood and community retail, business and service establishments that are oriented to and built close to the street. The B-2b zone is suitable in areas where a more compact urban development pattern exists or where a neighborhood-compatible commercial district is established which exhibits a pedestrian scale and character. Such locations may include the peninsula and other arterials and intersections with an existing urban or neighborhood-oriented building pattern. The B-2b zone encourages mixed-use development, and provides locations for moderate to high-density housing in urban neighborhoods along arterials.
Permitted uses
