How about that staircase and some of those fireplaces! Known as the Amos Armsby house, this has been on and off the market for years. Somewhere I wrote an article about the history of it and will try to find it. The Amos Armsby House was built in 1812. It is located on 1.80 acres in Paris, Maine. The house features wide plank wood floors, pocket doors, grand staircase, wide baseboards, amazing fireplaces and original doors. The lot is large with stone walls. Needs a ton of work, but it could be a fun project and amazing house when it’s completed. This is a big house! Nine bedrooms, four bathrooms and 4,931 square feet. $125,000
