Live in one and rent the other! This 2-unit property in the heart of Ellsworth offers an exciting opportunity to create a home while generating rental income from the second unit. Both units are two stories, with the front unit offering the potential for 2-3 bedrooms and the rear unit featuring one bedroom with access to a private rear deck. Prefer a single-family home? The existing layout also lends itself to being converted to single-family use, offering flexibility as your needs change. The property includes off-street parking and a convenient in-town location, with sidewalks leading to downtown Ellsworth's shops, restaurants, services, waterfront, and other amenities. Updates are needed, giving the next owner an opportunity to update the property and bring their own vision to each space. Whether you're looking to offset homeownership expenses with rental income, begin building a real estate investment portfolio, or create a single-family home, this property offers plenty of possibilities in a convenient Downeast Maine location. **Please note: Rendering images included with the listing are for visualization and inspiration only and do not represent the property's current condition or guarantee completed improvements.
