About This Home

As of November 2025

We have looked and have not found a more affordable, move-in ready home!
Imagine! 2 Bedrooms, both with multiple closets, one primary, one smaller. A full bath on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms, and a large landing, sweetly decorated - and you could too!
The 1st floor offers a well-appointed kitchen with all of the appliances you'd want. A breakfast station and plenty of space for a dining room, all open to the living room! First floor laundry center (washer & dryer are also included!), and a half bath. There is a large covered porch, a great place to sit or extra play space. A spacious .30 acre lot (you can see a bit of the St. John River!), and a wonderful 2-car garage.
A full basement, modern hybrid heat pump hot water heater, oil furnace, and heat pump for heat & air conditioning, and circuit breakers! The roof is 7-8 yrs.
Spectrum High Speed Internet and Cable.
All this for $119,00! Don't miss this great buy!
