Talk amongst yourselves! “Surprising backyard retreat”! Circa 1920 in Maine. $575,000

December 13, 2022

This is a talk amongst yourselves post. The backyard is described as “the private backyard is a surprising retreat”. Well SURPRISE!!! 🙂 This home was built in 1920. It is located in South Portland, Maine. I am going to assume this price is all about the location. The interior of the house isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. But for $575,000 they could have moved the wheel barrow. Two bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,392 square feet. $575,000
