About This Home
As of June 2025Charming 1880s Home with Modern Comforts on a Spacious Lot! Nestled on a beautifully landscaped 0.42-acre lot set back from the quiet end of Washington Avenue (after Washington splits from Auburn Street at Lib's Ice Cream), this 1880s home blends timeless character with modern conveniences. Offering three to four bedrooms, the home retains its antique charm while featuring thoughtful features such as a first-floor laundry room and two full bathrooms on the second floor. The property includes not one, but two oversized two-car garages—ideal for extra storage, hobbies, boats or vehicles and a nice storage shed. Enjoy the best of both tranquility and convenience with coffee shops, a grocery store, pharmacy, and bookstore just a short stroll away. Just north of retail offerings at Northgate Shopping Center are North Deering's Portland public schools (K-8). For outdoor enthusiasts, access to Portland Trails is just 0.3 miles away, while commuters will find I-95 a quick 2-mile drive. Downtown Portland, including the vibrant Old Port district with its renowned restaurants, museums, and music venues, is also just 2 miles from your doorstep. Open House Sunday May 18th from 12:00-2:00 pm.
