This gracious Portland home offers nearly 2000 square feet of character, comfort, and wonderfully livable space in a desirable neighborhood. With three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the home retains the warmth and craftsmanship of an earlier era while offering the conveniences expected for modern living, including central air, public utilities, and an attached two car garage.Hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by exposed wood beams, handsome millwork, and inviting rooms with a sense of history and permanence. The generously sized kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, substantial counter space, stainless steel appliances, and expansive windows overlooking the property. Adjoining living spaces are equally welcoming, with warm architectural details and a fireplace that gives the home an unmistakable sense of character.The sunroom is a particularly appealing retreat, surrounded by windows and overlooking the yard. It is an ideal setting for morning coffee, a quiet afternoon with a book, or relaxed evenings enjoying the changing seasons. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms provide private quarters, while a walk up attic offers excellent additional storage and the practicality so often missing from homes of this vintage.Outside, the well maintained yard is framed by mature plantings and generous lawn, offering plenty of space for gardening, entertaining, recreation, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The two car garage and additional storage make everyday living
