A home that lives in two worlds. Located in Portland's desirable Rosemont neighborhood, this single-family home is at the same time modern, minimalist, while also warm and welcoming. The yard is also a blend. It's not small, but not large. It's low-maintenance yet offers abundant vegetation in a natural mix of sun and shade. The location continues that same theme. It is convenient, yet quiet. It is residential, with neighbors nearby, yet it abuts 18 acres of natural beauty and trails. Capisic Pond, one of Portland's most beautiful walks and hikes, is immediately outside your door. Beyond, you are a short walk to Fore River Sanctuary, Forest City Trail for those that love the out-of-doors. What is also outside your door is a wonderful, walkable neighborhood. Rosemont is one of Portland's most desirable, with nearby shops, restaurants, and of course, Rosemont Market. The home itself has undergone a tremendous amount of updates and upgrades. From inside to exterior, the home is reimagined and updated. There are just too many edits and enhancements to list, but the photos tell the story. There is solar on the roof for remarkably low utility bills, and mini-split heat pumps offer super efficient heat and heating and cooling. The layout is also unique, offering rare single-level living, 2-3 bedrooms, a right-sized 1,092 sf, an updated bath, a modern kitchen, a private sunroom that you will love, and 1 car garage. Come and enjoy a home that will captivate. Contracts are due Tuesday, April 14th @ 5PM. Seller prefers a quick closing and to be able to rent back for 30-90 days.
