Located in Portland's beloved North Deering neighborhood, this classic New England Cape blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully updated, the home retains iconic period details such as a built-in hutch in the dining room, arched doorways, and custom built-ins in the bedroom. Large windows fill the home with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Set on a private 0.23-acre lot, the yard is an ideal space to entertain, garden, or simply relax and listen to the birds. This turnkey property reflects pride of ownership and offers both comfort and style. In addition to its charm and privacy, the home features a first-floor bedroom and full bath—perfect for those seeking one-level living. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and another full bath. The full basement includes a finished space ideal for a home office, gym, or bonus room, along with weatherproof storage. Just minutes from Portland Trails and convenient access to I-95 North & South (without the highway noise!), this home offers the best of both worlds: a quiet neighborhood feel with close proximity to downtown Portland. Nearby amenities include shopping, restaurants, banks, and fitness centers—everything you need within easy reach.
