This charming property checks all the boxes and also has many wonderful surprises! The main living floor includes kitchen, living room, full bathroom, 3-season porch and mudroom between the kitchen and back deck. A newer, first floor mini-split provides efficient cooling for those hot summer days. The fenced in backyard and deck is a fantastic place to spend time alone or with family/friends (and pets) while enjoying the vegetable bounty from several front yard garden beds. For some recreational variety, walk down the street and you'll find easy access to Portland Trails. Enjoy a bath or long hot showers with a newer direct vent, propane boiler. Sellers also did extensive renovations on the backyard shed - transforming it into a year-round, heated workshop with easy access via the paved stone path just beyond the fence gate at the end of the driveway (don't leave without seeing this backyard bonus with so many possible uses!). The wide streets make walkability and guest parking a breeze. This is a great opportunity to own a turnkey Portland property! * * Offers due Monday at Noon. Please allow 24 hours to review * *
