Back on the market with major improvements! If you've been looking for a historic home to renovate, restore, or make your own, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for! Dating back to approximately 1790, this antique Cape is believed to be one of Fairfield's oldest surviving homes. Rich in history and full of potential, this property offers an opportunity to own a piece of Maine's past. Since being listed earlier this year, the property has undergone several significant improvements, including a brand-new 5-bedroom septic system, a new deck, new windows and doors, and an updated downstairs bathroom! Currently configured as a two-family home, the property offers flexibility for investors, owner-occupants, or anyone looking to convert it back into a spacious single-family residence. The main home features a large kitchen with ample cabinet space, a separate dining room, a cozy living room with a wood stove, and a spacious family room with built-in shelving. A first-floor bedroom and full bathroom complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom. The vacant apartment features two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering potential for rental income, multigenerational living, or additional living space. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout much of the home add to its timeless character. Situated on 2.1 surveyed acres, the property also features a large three-car garage, a paved driveway, and an in-ground swimming pool that has not been used in many years. Looking for more land? This property is also available with a total of 8 acres for $365,000! With several big-ticket improvements already completed, the next owner can continue bringing this historic property back to life. Whether you're looking for an investment, renovation project, or a home with character and acreage, the possibilities are endless. Don't miss your chance to make this piece of Fairfield history your own!
