Built in 1910 when trolley cars were more popular than automobiles, Norman Rockwell would have felt at home here. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and detached guest quarters, this is the perfect home to host multi-generational get togethers. This home was built by true craftsmen and original period details such as French doors, stained glass windows, a fireplace in the living room, high ceilings and gorgeous crown molding and trim have been retained. The spacious kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Large windows allow for maximum light. The ''sleeping porch'' off the 2nd flr. primary suite would make a lovely dressing room or home office. Outside you will find a large covered front porch and a covered back porch that looks out over the large well landscaped lot with mature lilacs, perennial gardens, spring bulbs and plenty of room to play or garden. Back Cove Trail is 3 blocks away and Payson Park is 1/4 mile away. Ocean Avenue Elementary, Cheverus High School, Tipo restaurant, Scoops Ice Cream Shop and Coveside Coffee are a short hop away. Restaurants and shops in Woodfords Corner are nearby. Employment, arts and cultural offerings in downtown Portland are 2 miles away. Open House Sunday 4/2/23 from 11 am - 1:00 pm.
