Rare opportunity to own a Classic, historic and affordable Portland homestead & red barn, located mere minutes from downtown at Stevens Avenue. Location simply does not get better than this! Unlike other historical properties, many historical details have been preserved here, though property will need TLC to be fully revived. Unusually large backyard for this area of Town also makes for outstanding expansion, development, garden or possibly extended parking opportunities, with reconfiguration of the barn - ALL - pending Town approval . This romantic piece of Portland history is being sold ''AS IS'', so you can customize to your unique vision! Must see. Will not last!
