About this home
Opportunity meets flexibility at 26 Adelaide Street. This thoughtfully renovated property offers three finished levels of living space, a generous backyard, and a RARE BONUS: an additional buildable lot included in the sale. This home blends classic character with modern updates including beautiful wood floors, heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling, and flexible living spaces throughout. With three bedrooms and three levels of finished living area, there is room to spread out whether you're looking for a primary residence, investment property, or a live/work opportunity. Outside, the expansive yard provides space to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy a private outdoor setting rarely found in this area of Portland. Two detached garages offer exceptional storage, workshop space, or future possibilities. The true standout is the property's B2 commercial zoning and included second deeded lot. The lot may offer future development potential including an additional single family home, ADU, multifamily development, or other permitted uses within the B2 district. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence with the City of Portland regarding zoning, density, and permitted uses. Conveniently located within walking distance of the University of New England's Portland campus, local restaurants, parks, and neighborhood amenities, this is a unique opportunity to purchase not just a home, but future potential in one of Portland's most convenient locations.

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.

B2
Community Business District
To provide appropriate locations for the development and operation of community centers offering a mixture of commercial uses, housing, and services serving the adjoining neighborhoods and the larger community. The variety, sites, and intensity of the permitted commercial uses in the B-2 zone are intended to be greater than those permitted in the B-1/B-1b zones. The zone provides a broad range of goods and services with a mixture of large and small buildings, such as grocery stores, shops and services located in major shopping centers and along arterial streets. Such establishments should be readily accessible by automobile, by pedestrians and by bicycle. Development in the B-2 zone should relate to the surrounding neighborhoods by design, orientation, and circulation patterns. The zone should provide locations for moderate to high-density housing in urban neighborhoods along arterials.
