Well-Preserved Beauties

Bangor’s lumber boom days have long passed, but these four historic homes are testaments to the era’s vitality and opulence.
House for Sale
Melanie Brooks
House hunting? It’s a buyer’s market, so they say, so why not find a house that suits your personality as well as your budget? Whether you prefer city living or a country hideaway, the Bangor metro area has it. We asked three experts in the real estate industry to reach into their bag of homes for sale and offer up some of their most unique properties. All three delivered, in a big way. There’s a history-packed jewel from the Civil War era, a waterfront fun house nestled in potato country, and an urban townhouse with a snappy storefront. Ready to do some house shopping? Sit back, put up your feet, and imagine yourself in one of these fabulous finds.
