1490 Lisbon Street, Lewiston, ME, 04240 | $399,000

Auto Mechanic or Car Enthusiast's Dream Property!

Discover a rare opportunity to own a mid-century modern home with an attached two-car garage and an automotive repair shop featuring a single post lift—perfect for a business, hobby, or car collection.

Step inside this freshly painted three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home that combines vintage charm with modern updates.

The main floor features a spacious open-concept living and dining area connected to the kitchen, plus a bedroom, full bath, and a large hall that previously served as an office.

The second floor includes two bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry area with a kitchen sink and generous storage.

The basement offers a finished recreation room, workshop area with workbench, vice, and tool storage, plus remnants of a former kitchen and half bath—ideal for customization.

Recent updates include:

New electrical with three-prong outlets and switches

New driveway

Roof recoated with Hennery's silicon

New forced hot air furnace (2017)

There is a small fenced yard and deck in a private alcove—a great spot to relax after a day in the shop.

At one time, the home was configured as a duplex (without permit). With current accessory dwelling regulations, the next owner could easily reinstate a separate unit to generate rental income or help offset the mortgage. (Confirm with the city)

This property is zoned and approved for an auto repair shop, but the possibilities don't end there—explore other permitted uses with the City of Lewiston.

Whether you're an auto mechanic, collector, or entrepreneur, this property offers an unbeatable combination of residential comfort and professional workspace—all in one convenient location.

(Current owner used the garage and shop for a private car collection. )

House was previously rented.
