About This Home

As of June 2025

A Rosemont classic— move-in ready, with a brand new porch, deck, 2-car garage & timeless charm.

A seamless blend of past and present awaits at 79 Frances Street, where a comprehensive renovation and a brand-new 2-car age garage have elevated this Portland classic into a home of effortless style and enduring quality. Step inside to discover sunlit interiors anchored by beautifully restored original hardwood floors and framed by generous baseboards—subtle details that speak to the home's timeless character. The open living and dining areas flow naturally into a sleek, modern kitchen, where top-tier appliances and contemporary fixtures set the stage for both daily life and special occasions. A glass door leads directly from the kitchen to an oversized deck, creating a seamless extension of the living space and making entertaining—both indoors and out—remarkably easy.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, each thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of natural light and quiet. The fully renovated bath features modern finishes that complement the home's classic charm. Downstairs, a full basement provides abundant space for storage, recreation, or hobbies—offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Every central system has been updated, including plumbing, electrical, and windows, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. The front porch has been meticulously reconstructed and freshly painted, welcoming you home with classic curb appeal, while the newly paved driveway adds everyday convenience. Situated on a quiet street just moments from Portland's vibrant Thompson's Point, 79 Frances Street is more than a renovation—it's a thoughtful reinvention, ready for its next chapter.
