259 High Street, Belfast, ME, 04915
About This Home
Bring your vision and your toolbox to this partially renovated property in the heart of downtown Belfast. The property is currently listed as a large single family residence, however the potential is there to transform this back into a spacious multi-family with a prime location. The footbridge and rail trail are just down the road, and the Friday Farmers Market is right across the street at Waterfall Arts. While significant rehabilitation is needed before occupancy, the structure offers a unique opportunity for investors, contractors, or ambitious renovators to bring forth a new vision for this property, and transform it back into something special from it's current blank canvas.
