This 188-Year-Old Maine Home Looks Like a Nostalgic Christmas Card

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." You could assume that moving from the hustle and bustle of New York City to the tight-knit community of Lovell, Maine (population: 1,104), might lead to having a smaller social circle, but for Sean Litchfield and Zachary Violette, that was surprisingly not the case. It turns out that buying a classic Greek Revival home on a 1.5-acre lot in the middle of town was plenty to garner greetings and goodwill. "When we moved in, a steady stream of people began arriving with pies," says Zachary. "Everyone knows the 'Kimball-Chandler house,' so they all knew who we were pretty quickly."

Students meet the pros behind $3M homes rising near Goose Rocks Beach

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — Students from Mousam River STEM Academy in Alfred traded their classrooms for an exclusive look into a residential development on Oct. 14, visiting Prospect Reserve at Goose Rocks Beach , an exclusive 13-lot neighborhood under development. The field trip provided elementary students in kindergarten through sixth grade with a unique opportunity to learn what factors are involved in creating an entirely new residential neighborhood, from untouched land to the planning, infrastructure, and construction. Before visiting Prospect Reserve, students participated in an interactive presentation at Mousam River STEM Academy, where they examined a printed site plan of the neighborhood and sample architectural floor plans for one of the homes now under construction in the neighborhood. Jessica Jolin, principal architect at Biddeford-based Mobile Studio Architects, introduced students to the architectural design process and the responsibilities of an architect, while developer Pat Dooling explained his role in bringing a residential development from concept to reality. Mousam River STEM Academy organizes more than 14 field trips annually. While students have previously toured a home under construction, this experience offered a broader perspective on the development process, beginning long before the first foundation was poured.

How Brunswick raced to keep families housed after their mobile homes were condemned

Holly Ayala was tired of renting when she put nearly all the money she had — $12,000 — into a mobile home in Brunswick. She found the trailer from the 1970s advertised on Facebook Marketplace at Davis Street Trailer Park. Ayala said she understood it would need some fixing up but had been assured by the property management company that the trailer was livable.
