Buyer Represented by: Coldwell Banker Realty
Cherished by the same owners since 1978, this classic South Portland home is ready for its next chapter. High ceilings and original wood and parquet floors set the tone throughout, while a brand new roof, an updated full bath, and fresh paint mean many of the big-ticket items are already done -- leaving you free to update at your own pace.
Set on approximately ¼ acre, the property offers a spacious, flexible layout. The first floor includes a comfortable living room, kitchen, dining room, and a family room addition with a convenient half bath. Enter through the enclosed front porch, the side entrance from the driveway, or the back mudroom off the deck. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the recently updated full bath.
A detached structure, on file with the City as a garage, offers additional potential as a garage, workshop, or accessory space with the appropriate improvements and approvals.
Conveniently located with easy access to Portland and I-295, this is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a South Portland home with character, space, and room to make it their own.
