North Deering, located between Back Cove and Presumpscot River, is a residential and wooded Portland neighborhood with broad conservation land and low-slung mid-century streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Allen Avenue corridor near the Pine Tree Shopping Center, where everyday errands cluster beside a steady flow of local traffic. Ranches and split-levels mix with newer infill, while long tree lines and stone walls keep the pace quiet. Evergreen Cemetery reads like a landscaped park, and the Presumpscot River Trail adds a nature-forward routine. Community touchstones include the Portland Trails network, Riverside Golf Course, and the historic grounds of Evergreen Cemetery.

Sweet, impeccably maintained ranch placed on the lot for optimum, tastefully fenced, back yard space. Recently carpeted finished family room, and an excellent workshop and craft space on the lower level provide depth and dimension to this cozy home. Hardwood floors, plenty of daylight through the living room windows add warmth in winter and sparkle to the interior in all seasons. Excellent location, close to town and travel routes, yet just outside the city bustle. Quiet neighborhood is not a through street, residential traffic only. Find yourself simply at home here.
