Set in the heart of Bingham, Maine—an area rich in history and outdoor recreation—this 3 Bedroom, 1 Bath New Englander, built in the late 19th century, offers a rare opportunity to complete a renovation already well underway. Bingham is known for its heritage along the Kennebec River, the historic Bingham Purchase, and its location on the scenic Old Canada Road (U. S. Route 201). The huge Lilac at the corner of the porch was an original planting! The home has undergone major upgrades down to the studs, including new insulation, all-new drywall, and a rebuilt front porch structure. A custom kitchen features soft-close antique white cabinetry, a center island with sink, pantry cupboard, and matching Samsung appliances. A space-saving barn door conceals a stacking washer and dryer. The original historic trim has been carefully preserved and is available to re-install, offering the chance to restore timeless charm. The home also includes a spacious attached barn, which functions as a one-car garage with room for workshop or storage needs. An additional bonus room inside the home offers flexible space for a home office, studio, or expanded storage. Directly behind the property lies the Kennebec Valley Trail—a scenic multi-use trail popular for walking, biking, snowmobiling, ATV riding, and more. The trail offers year-round recreational enjoyment just steps from your backyard. There's a large concrete slab that can be used as an RV pad at the right rear of the home. While much of the heavy lifting has been completed, some interior finish work remains—creating the ideal opportunity for an investor, flipper, or handy homeowner to build equity. A forced sale due to divorce makes this a rare chance to own a partially renovated piece of Maine history at an attractive price.
