Discover a versatile waterfront property in the peaceful town of Sumner, offering an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers and investors alike. Set on two private acres along a quiet, low-traffic road, this single-level home combines affordability, recreation, and long-term potential. The scenic lot features direct river frontage on a stocked river--perfect for fishing and year-round outdoor enjoyment. The property includes three separate 100-amp electrical services, plus an additional septic tank, creating strong potential for expansion. With Maine's updated regulations allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs), buyers may have added flexibility (confirm possibilities with local code enforcement). A spacious two-bay garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, recreational equipment, a workshop, or extra storage. There is also a standalone shed in the back yard for even more storage space. Enjoy the quiet rural lifestyle Sumner is known for while remaining within easy driving distance of Buckfield, Rumford, Bethel, Norway, Paris, Turner, Auburn, and Lewiston, where you'll find shopping, dining, schools, healthcare, ski mountains, and employment opportunities. Its central location supports both commuter convenience and rental demand. Please note that listing photos have been digitally enhanced to reflect the home after the current owners vacate; the property is presently occupied and contains personal belongings.
Remarkable home with some great possibilities! This ranch home has in-law potential as well as the option to convert the garage into an apartment! 3-100 amp services with their own electric meter plus an additional septic tank makes expansion a real possibility! Currently the home has a primary suite on one end that boasts a large walk-in closet. The kitchen is accessed by both ends of the home but could be separated by an interior door and would be perfect for an in-law apartment! Cozy living room off the kitchen is great to relax in after a long day. Additional full bathroom with laundry and 3 more bedrooms gives everyone their own space. Beautiful brick hearth with woodstove hookup if you like to use wood for fuel. 30x30 2-bay garage with high ceilings would be good for a car lift or to store plenty of toys and have a workbench space. Or convert the garage to another unit and use for income potential. Bordered by the East Branch of the Nezinscott River, there is an Elevation Certification on file and flooding has not been an issue. Conveniently located between local schools and a quick drive to the post office, small market, or the transfer station. Bring your ideas and make this home yours!
