Description

Opportunity in Rumford at 16 South Backfield Road, an older residential property currently configured as two units with one occupied unit and one vacant unit. Public records report approximately 1,520 square feet, four bedrooms, 2 baths and about 0.37 acre. The property is served by municipal water and public sewer, and the seller reports no known sewer-line malfunctions. Heat is provided by a Lennox forced-hot-air oil system, reported by the seller to have been serviced around the winter of 2025....Opportunity in Rumford at 16 South Backfield Road, an older residential property currently configured as two units with one occupied unit and one vacant unit. Public records report approximately 1,520 square feet, four bedrooms, 2 baths and about 0.37 acre. The property is served by municipal water and public sewer, and the seller reports no known sewer-line malfunctions. Heat is provided by a Lennox forced-hot-air oil system, reported by the seller to have been serviced around the winter of 2025. Two electric domestic water heaters and two breaker panels were observed. This is a substantial value-add property with deferred maintenance and should be approached as an as-is renovation project. A fire in approximately June 2025 affected the left side of the building. Visible unrepaired damage includes melted exterior siding and damage to a window and upper entry door; the extent of any concealed damage is unknown. The basement experiences dampness or moisture, although the seller does not describe it as flooding. The vacant upper unit was not fully operational during the property visit, and its water and plumbing fixtures were not tested. Interior finishes are dated and worn, with areas that will require repair, updating and general rehabilitation. The roof appears visually newer than many other components, but its exact installation date and history are unknown. The property is currently used as two residential units, while available public records have not independently established legal two-unit status; parties should verify permitted use, egress, occupancy and code requirements with the Town of Rumford. This offering may make sense for a contractor, investor or owner-occupant seeking a project with public utilities and an existing multi-unit configuration. Property is being sold as-is. Parties should perform independent inspections and due diligence regarding fire damage, systems, permitted use, measurements, unit configuration and financing eligibility. See today.
