About This Home
As of May 2023Move-in ready Single-family home on the Portland Peninsula, a rare opportunity to own a home in the middle of the West End. Lots of possibilities for expansion (check with the planning department, of course) or have fun renovating the existing space to your taste. Full basement, a walking score of 92/100 that puts the entire city at your disposal, and a backyard for entertaining or gardening. Perhaps use the improved lot to create your dream space with a complete rebuild? This cute and inviting home sits only a few steps from Reiche school, as well as an easy walk to Waynflete school, the waterside Harbor View Park, and to Longfellow Square, where fun, culture and restaurants abound.
