Affordable opportunity in the coastal town of Wells, Maine. If you're dreaming of a quiet spot near the coast to make your own, this could be it. Set just a few minutes from Wells Beach, Route 1, and local favorites like Congdon's and The Maine Diner, this 3-bedroom home sits on a peaceful lot and offers plenty of space to bring your vision to life. The front space is a manufactured home built in 1986. A large addition off the back adds flexibility, and the wide-plank wood floors throughout are just waiting to shine again. The detached outbuilding is currently used as a workshop but could easily be turned back into a garage. There's even a newer generator already in place. With a solid foundation and a location that keeps you close to sandy shores on Wells Beach, restaurants, and everyday amenities, this home has great potential for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and create something special.
