Circa 1879 Maine Handyman Special Under $50K

OHU50K Notes $49,900

Clean up this Maine handyman special and it could look 100% better. The two bedroom, one bath cottage has a gingerbread porch, hardwood floors, French doors, a lovely staircase, clawfoot tub and built-ins. The house also has a basement, and public water and sewer. Why they did not winterize a vacant house located in Maine is beyond me? Expect plumbing issues.

Realtor Comments

Quiet neighborhood, centrally located to everything! Close to the Mall, Childcare, Schools, Hospital, Theater, Restaurants, Grocery Stores, Big Box Stores, the Airport! Built in the late 1800’s, built to last forever! The layout is pleasing and the house is medium in size, which matches a lot of what buyers & renters today are looking for, something affordable & manageable. Set between single family homes, the neighborhood mix is houses & apartments. This home is similar to the age of most of the homes in this neighborhood. 2-3 Bedrooms (if you are OK with a ”pass-thru setup then definitely 3 bedrooms!), the enclosed back porch has been used as a 1st floor bedroom. One full bathroom. Don’t let the stuff set on the porch & outside this home fool you, it’s pretty cleaned out inside (watch the video house tour!)! You’ll be able to make a running start on getting it set to rent or flip! Public water, public sewer makes this property an easier DIY. It wasn’t winterized, though, so plan to fix a few plumbing issues. Forced Hot Air heat, so this should be good to go once power is back on & it gets serviced. This will be your easiest fix & flip/rent project yet!
