What a sweet Cape! You will be pleasantly surprised by the size of this 4 bedroom Deering Highlands home. The living room is bright and cheerful with it's wood burning fireplace and builtins. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of storage, and the dining area has great views of the backyard. Through the sliders there is a comfortable covered deck which leads to the lovely fenced in backyard. Picture yourself having a bbq with friends and family in this great space. With two bedrooms and a full bath on the first floor, you could entertain single floor living, but there's so much more! Upstairs you'll find 2 more, surprisingly large bedrooms with an additional full bath, the basement is also partially finished, offering up a family room, or playroom. The space does not lack in storage space, and you'll love having a detached 2 car garage. With convenient access to Portland and surrounding towns you will not want to pass this up!

A charming, unassuming cape situated in a quiet neighborhood in the Deering Highlands area of Portland. This lovely home blends the charm & character of the period when it was built, with many modern amenities from the recent renovations. Gleaming hardwood floors, fireplace and custom etagere. The fenced back yard is an absolute oasis, from the covered porch and the circular patio, to the artistically designed landscaping. This home blends style with simplicity in a tranquil yet convenient Portland location.
