“It needs serious foundation work, It’s for someone with a deep pocket," Fred Greenwood told WGME.

Here’s a little information on exactly what the house will need to be livable.

It has no working wiring, heating or plumbing, and the barn is in ruins! However, it does still have it’s original features like wood trim, pocket doors, brick fireplaces, and a sunporch. according to the listing.

It’s gorgeous and you can absolutely see it’s potential.

The current owners purchased the house three years ago. They cleared the clutter and started renovations, but the project became too big.

Now they’re ready to pass it on! IF you are interested, you will have free reign to restore this house as you wish. Fred Greenwood hopes the right buyer will fix it up and restore the historic home!
