Portland price points come into perspective when you look at this opulent property in Bangor’s Broadway Historic District. It was designed in 1833 by Charles Bryant (fascinating man if you want to look him up) as a mirror image duplex with a central common space. Now it’s divided into a six-bed “owners’ quarters” and a two-bed, one-bath apartment, both with details like tin ceilings, hardwood floors, and marble fireplaces, along with modern bathrooms and kitchens. Three-bay oversized garage; also zoned for in-home, service-based business. Listed by Tyne Kenny, Bean Group. See the full listing.

If you passed by this home in a motor vehicle, you might be mistaken for perceiving a simple farmhouse. But slow down and you’ll notice Corinthian columns lining the front porch. Pull the address up online, and you’ll see the structure dates to 1775, and was built for William Goold, a state senator and noted historian. The columns were installed in the early 20th century. Get lost in time over 22.5 acres, and the many alcoves, corniced living rooms, and window seats in the historic home. Listed by Kayla Sterling, Coldwell Banker Team Real Estate. See the full listing.
