About this home

Darling cape style home on a desirable oversized lot minutes from downtown Portland. Before you know it, the snow will fly and you'll be cozied up next to your wood stove. Hate having to trek to the basement to do your laundry? Not a concern here with a first floor laundry room! This sweet home is full of character- it's definitely not the cookie cutter cape you've been seeing around town. And there's ample space in the basement and detached one-car garage for all of your bikes, kayaks, paddle boards and more! Are you a gardener? Or an aspiring gardener? There's a beautiful garden bed and greenhouse in the yard waiting for you to make it your own.
