About This Home

As of January 2022

Imagine living here! The large back yard, 4 bedrooms, and full dry basement provide space for gardening, offices, and hobbies. Only 2 blocks from Payson Park's tennis, basketball, and baseball areas, and don't forget winter sledding and July 4th fireworks viewing! At the other end of the park, Baxter Boulevard to walk, run or bike around Portland's Back Bay with the city skyline in the background. Winter time is cozy with a fireplace, mudroom and attached garage. 2 first floor bedrooms makes this a home to age gracefully in. A great location so close to the park, 10 minutes to the East End Beach and the Old Port, and 15 minutes to the Maine Mall. Welcome to Portland.
