Description

This well built 1960 cape has had one owner who has lovingly cared for it over all of these years. Some updating by a new owner will create a wonderful and comfortable home for years to come. There are hardwood floors in both first floor bedrooms as well as under the carpet in the living room. The living room has a brick fireplace with a gas insert. There is also a heat pump for heating and cooling. A stackable washer/dryer is installed in a first floor bedroom closet and there is also a washer h/u in the basement. The second floor has two rooms one of which is completed as a third bedroom. The other one is equal in size but needs finishing to be fully utilized as a 4th bedroom. Heat needs to be connected in both of these rooms. The oversized one car garage also has a covered side addition ideal for boat or camper storage. The back yard is level and very usable for outside enjoyment. A bonus is a location on a dead end street! A little sweat equity will add value quickly here. The city indicates square footage of 884 which is the first floor total. The additional 290 square feet indicated in the total is approximate for the two second floor rooms.
8 Dexter Street, Bangor, ME 04401 is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,174 sqft single-family home built in 1960. It last sold for $227,000 on Mar 8, 2024 (1% above the $224,900 asking price). It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $280,200, with a rent estimate of $2,195/month.
