About This Home
As of June 2025Discover the perfect blend of lifestyle and investment. This beautifully maintained 2.9-acre property features a fully turn-key single-family home with an ADU apartment, located in highly sought-after Gorham. The main level offers a bright and functional layout with 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, an open-concept kitchen and living area, and direct access to a spacious back deck that overlooks a huge backyard with a custom-built, oversized fire pit — perfect for gatherings. The property is thoughtfully designed for outdoor living and self-sufficiency, featuring a chicken coop, sheds in both the front and back yards, and an established garden setup — ideal for those who love to grow their own food, keep backyard hens, or simply enjoy the Maine lifestyle. The real value lies below: a lower-level ADU apartment with its own private entrance. Whether you're hosting short-term guests, securing long-term tenants, or offering flexible living arrangements, this space is income-ready from day one. With a strong rental history for both long-term and short-term stays, this is a rare find for investors or owner-occupants looking to offset their mortgage.
