Income-property opportunity at 131 Penobscot Street in Rumford, currently configured as three residential units with 2 occupied apartments and a vacant upper unit. Public records report approximately 2,016 square feet, three bathrooms and about 0.16 acres. The building is served by municipal water and public sewer. The seller reports that the original clay sewer lateral was replaced with PVC approximately 20 years ago. Heat is provided by an oil-fired boiler with two approximately 275-gallon oil tanks that the seller estimates to be about 20 years old. Multiple electric domestic water heaters, three laundry hookups and four electrical panels were observed; exact utility allocation and metering require party verification. The main roof was reportedly replaced approximately five years ago. The front porch roof was not included in that work and currently shows evidence of leakage and interior water staining; the seller is evaluating repair. The seller has also observed a possible area of the newer main roof that may need attention. A former rear porch collapsed and was not rebuilt, and the associated exterior door remains secured. The property has a shared/common driveway; the seller reports that neighboring properties have rights to use it. The seller also reports that a sewer/plumbing service line serving a rear neighboring property passes through the cellar, so parties should review the deed, easement rights and maintenance responsibilities. The upper unit includes an exterior secondary exit and a bathroom sewage ejector/lift-pump system. The property is presently configured and used as three units, but municipal approval and legal three-unit status have not been independently verified. With one unit vacant and existing occupancy in the others, this property offers a path for an investor or owner-occupant to improve operations and rents over time. Parties should verify leases, income, permitted use, systems, parking, easements and condition as part of due diligence.
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.

Fireplace on second floor is blocked off but there is a place where you can hook up a propane fireplace insert if desired.
