About This Home

All these April + May showers mean this backyard will be in full BLOOM just in time to enjoy summer evenings on the covered porch overlooking your private oasis. This 3 bedroom, 1 bath cape with 1 car garage is located in popular sidewalk lined neighborhood with easy access to downtown Portland and Westbrook. A large light filled entry way welcomes you as you step up into your kitchen, with ample counter space and new appliances. The first floor boasts refinished hardwood floors, a large bedroom, full bath and dining room/office space that leads to what will be your favorite part of this home, your porch and fenced in backyard! Upstairs you'll find two more bedrooms - that natural wood is beautiful but paint would brighten and transform those rooms. A full basement with new furnace + water heater (2022), and washer + dryer (2024). A new roof in 2019, and other upgrades and updates continue with this pride of ownership! Showings start tomorrow for this wonderful home - come see it for yourself!
