Description
Welcome to 8 Western Ave—where in-town convenience meets peaceful, wooded privacy. This legal two-unit property is just a short walk to downtown Gorham's shops, restaurants, and cafés, yet the setting feels like a private retreat surrounded by trees.
The main home offers three bedrooms and one bath, including a first-floor bedroom perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or one-floor convenience. The sunny kitchen opens to a spacious living area, and the large deck off the back provides an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. The backyard is level, private, and bordered by woods—rare for an in-town location.
The second unit is a bright one-bedroom apartment with vaulted ceilings in the living room, creating an airy, open feel. With separate utilities, it's an excellent option for rental income, extended family, or a home office suite.
Looking ahead to 2026, the attached two-car garage and lot layout may offer buyers the opportunity to explore adding an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or even pursuing a third unit, depending on town approvals and zoning changes. This future flexibility adds another layer of value for investors or owner-occupants planning long-term.
An attached two-car garage, ample parking, and walkability round out this unique property. Whether you're looking for an investment, owner-occupied two-unit, or flexible living with room for everyone, 8 Western Ave offers the best of Gorham living—privacy, space, and the convenience of being moments from the village.
