SANFORD — The town of Sanford is set to welcome a new addition to its downtown area with the launch of 19 Bodwell Street, a condo development that promises to bring much-needed affordable housing inventory to the community. This exciting project, developed by Dooryard, a new modular housing and development company, features eight modern condo units and a large single-family style detached condo.
The development at 19 Bodwell Street is strategically located to help revitalize downtown Sanford. With its focus on quality, design, and meeting the needs of the workforce, this project is poised to provide accessible housing options, contributing to the growth and dynamism of the local area.
Kara Wilbur, the developer behind this project, expressed her enthusiasm about the positive impact these new homes will have on the Sanford community. “Our goal is to create high-quality living spaces that can help meet the growing demand for housing in Sanford and provides homes for local workers, singles, young couples, and downsizing seniors. 19 Bodwell Street is designed to be a welcoming place for new and experiences homeowners, and a catalyst for further revitalization of the downtown area,” said Wilbur.
Wilbur, with partner Sam Hight, recently completed a new modular infill project in Madison, providing 18 affordable apartments, financed by the MaineHousing Affordable Rural Rental Program. “We are excited to provide housing across the state using the modular approach – allowing more access to quality homes to meet the diverse needs of Mainers”, says Hight.
Tom Landry, broker/owner of Benchmark Real Estate, is the listing agent for 19 Bodwell Street. With his extensive experience in the real estate market, Landry is confident that these new units will attract a diverse group of buyers looking for affordability and convenience. “We’re thrilled to bring these new homes to market. They represent a unique opportunity for buyers to own a piece of Sanford’s future while enjoying the benefits of modern, affordable housing,” Landry stated.
Unique features of the project include outdoor spaces, including front porches and a large back yard, including spaces to garden, all electric systems, TimberHP insulation, and durable solid hardwood finishes that provide a higher level of quality and will last the test of time.
Homes are made more affordable as a result of careful site selection that locates these new homes in the heart of downtown neighborhoods on existing water and sewer infrastructure, careful and efficient design of interior spaces to eliminate excess square footage that drives up housing and utility costs, and modular construction that reduces soft costs and loan interest costs. The project is supported with financing provided by MaineHousing, along with Bangor Savings Bank and the Genesis Fund, through the Affordable Homeownership Program, which is intended to help produce modestly sized and priced homes that will appeal to first-time homebuyers or other homebuyers who earn up to 120 percent of Area Median Income.
