About This Home
As of September 2025Nestled amongst a variety of mature trees, and established gardens, 20 Porch Street is a thoughtfully modernized, energy efficient oasis in one of North Deering's most charming and convenient neighborhoods. This stand out 3+ bedroom 2.5 bath home lends itself to easy and comfortable living. Quartersawn oak cabinetry and Thermadore appliances grace the spacious kitchen, while ample granite countertops make cooking a dream. Windows surrounding the dining area bring the beauty of the outdoors in, for a serene place to enjoy entertaining. The living room, with its cathedral ceiling and generous windows, is flooded with light. While part of the living room is currently being used as a home office, it could easily be folded back into a larger living space. Two bedrooms and one full bath share one floor, while half a floor up the master bedroom/bath boasts a lovely balcony, perfect for sipping morning coffee. You will find a bonus room another half a floor up, perfect for movies, play space, or home gym. Another flexible space at basement level, has european style tilt-n-turn windows and can be used as guest quarters, gym, art room or office. A large 2 car garage makes winter parking easy, and storage a breeze. A sanctuary awaits on the back deck, constructed of composite decking, and invisible rails, this low maintenance space offers a peaceful place to grill and enjoy the quiet of this lovely and unique neighborhood. High end, composite exterior shingles are dead ringers for red cedar, without the maintenance or rot! The heat efficiency of this home is outstanding, with annual heating/hot water expenses hovering at $1700. An automated pellet boiler keeps things toasty all winter, through European style, individually regulated radiators, while heat pumps offer AC in the summer months and a secondary heat source.20 Porch Street is a true showpiece offering an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy the vibrancy of Portland AND a quiet, peaceful, hassle-free lifestyle
