This unit (one of 2 units for sale) is offered by Maine Working Homes, a Maine-based business focused on solving workforce housing challenges in Maine communities. This is Maine Working Homes’ second project; the first project was a converted 2-unit property in South Thomaston, now owned by a nurse and a local business owner. About Maine Working Homes Formed in September 2021 by Merritt Carey and Andrew Curtis, Maine Working Homes is a Maine-based limited liability corporation focused on workforce housing challenges in coastal Maine communities. Specifically, Maine Working Homes creates home ownership opportunities for Maine residents who have become increasingly priced out of the state’s residential real estate market and who are no longer able to buy homes in the communities in which they work. We do this in several ways: the conversion of existing multi-family properties to condominiums that can be independently owned; new construction and workforce housing development; and the purchase and renovation of distressed single family homes. Our first project, the conversion of a South Thomaston multifamily rental property into reasonably priced condominiums, exemplifies our dedication to swift, pragmatic solutions. We are committed to building community by creating opportunities for home ownership, and believe strongly that people should be able to live in the communities in which they work.
