The possibilities are endless with this unique offering in Wells. Currently configured as a legal DUPLEX, this property is sure to appeal to those looking for a primary residence, a primary with in-law or investment property alike. The main unit is a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom, colonial-style home with an open-concept kitchen and dining area, spacious living room with gas fireplace, and a first-floor office that could be converted into a 4th bedroom. Other features include tray ceilings in the dining and living areas, numerous skylights, custom cabinetry in the kitchen and mini splits for supplemental heat and air-conditioning. The second unit offers single-level living and features 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and an open-concept kitchen and living area. On the second level of this unit there is a bonus space with a half bath and dedicated entry that would make the perfect studio or office space. Both units share a forced hot-water heating system, but electricity and water are metered separately. The house is perched along the banks of the Webhannet River, which divides this 5-acre parcel in half. Along the 600' of river frontage, you'll find the remnants of the old grist mill dating back to the 1600's. The house has historic roots as well, as a portion of the home is believed to have been built in the 1800's. Additional exterior features include a screened porch area and a separate built-in fire pit where you can sit and enjoy the sounds of the river. Buffum Hill Road is centrally located to everything the Wells-Ogunquit area has to offer including award-winning beaches, shopping, restaurants, schools, and other area attractions. In fact, Wells Beach is located just a short 1.5 miles away from your driveway. The sellers are offering a separate . 60 acre building lot adjacent to this property for $149,900 (MLS #1557599). Again, the possibilities are endless! There is limited availability to show until the Open House on Saturday, May 6th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Call today!
