Dreaming of your very own before-and-after story? 85 Dawes Road in Dover-Foxcroft is ready for its makeover montage—and you're the star of the show! Tucked away on 2.2 private acres with trail access just steps away, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is the affordable project you've been waiting for. It's got great bones, plenty of space, and all the essentials so you can live here while you work your magic.
Yes, she's a little dated—she could use a fresh coat of paint, some siding TLC, and a few updates—but imagine the satisfaction of watching your vision come to life. The second floor is already a fantastic primary suite with a bath and walk-in closet, so your retreat space is set while the rest gets its glow-up.
The location is the cherry on top: a quick bike ride to the Piscataquis County Community Center and Foxcroft Academy, close to the ice rink, tennis courts, parks, shopping, and the hospital. Plus, you've got a roomy garage and workshop for all your tools and toys, and both oil and wood boiler systems to keep you toasty all winter.
If you've been hunting for a spot that's affordable, private, and just begging for a little elbow grease, this is it. Your dream home doesn't have to break the bank—it just needs your vision (and maybe a few weekends with a paintbrush).
