This home is located on a double lot off of Church Rd. on the west side of town.

We’ll let you compare the price per square this home would be in Portland.
5 Crawford Dr., Bath, Sagadahoc County. Recent median sales price: $291,000
$279,900 | 4 Beds | 1.5 Baths | 1,809 SF | 0.39 Acres
The warmth and creativity that this home lacks in curb appeal is made up for by the bright, contemporary interior that has been updated with new appliances, granite countertops and cabinets in the kitchen and a black wood stove against a black brick wall in the living room, which will supplement the two heat pumps. A first-floor bedroom and half bathroom make a great space for guests on people who want to mostly stick to one floor.
10 Middle St., Lisbon, Androscoggin County. Recent median sales price: $215,500
$224,900 | 3 Bed | 2 Bath | 1,356 SF | 0.38 Acres
While the new owner will have to put those ever familiar “finishing touches” on this property, the circa 1900 Victorian has had extensive remodeling, including new floors and windows, updated kitchen and bathrooms and six brand new heat pumps. The third floor has potential to be finished for two more bedrooms. The seller is offering a $10,000 allowance toward the buyer’s choice of upgrades and improvements.
