Classic two-unit building located in the Deering Highlands offers period charm, convenient location and room for expansion. The first-floor unit is a 2 bed / 1 bath. The second-floor unit is currently being used as a 2 bed / 1 bath, but has the potential to be a 3 bed / 2 bath unit with bonus space by utilizing the finished third floor with a full bath. With hardwood floors throughout, open living/dining areas, built-in china cabinets, private porch & deck per unit as well as yard space and preserved historic charm, this building is a must see. There is also a buildable lot that provides the opportunity for additional units on the property creating endless potential.
