Oakdale beauty! Classic 4-bedroom, 2-bath Colonial set on an extraordinarily private lot directly across from Longfellow Park — a rare offering in this sought-after Oakdale neighborhood. Step inside to a warm, sun-filled foyer with hardwood floors and a beautifully preserved staircase that sets the tone for the home's timeless character. The bright living room, centered around a classic fireplace with built-in bookshelves on either side, flows seamlessly into a formal dining room — ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The eat-in kitchen features absolute black granite counters, white shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, a charming breakfast nook bathed in natural light, and a side entrance to the deck leading to a one-car detached garage just beyond. Upstairs, the primary suite and three additional bedrooms offer comfortable, light-filled space, complemented by an updated full bath with a classic clawfoot soaking tub and separate tiled shower. The finished lower level adds valuable flexible living space with a cozy family room and a second full bath — perfect for guests, a home office, play room, or a media room. Outside, the idyllic backyard is a true retreat: a deck off the kitchen leads down to a stone patio tucked among mature trees and lush plantings, offering a level of privacy rarely found this close to the heart of Portland. With its unbeatable location across from the park, generous lot, and thoughtful updates throughout, 29 Longfellow Street is a special opportunity in one of Portland's most treasured neighborhoods.

Oakdale, located between Back Cove and Deering Oaks Park, is a residential and academic Portland neighborhood with leafy side streets and a steady campus-day rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Forest Avenue and Bedford Street corridor, where corner markets, coffee counters, and small eateries keep sidewalks active. The University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus anchors the area, with the Abromson Community Education Center and the Osher Map Library & Smith Center for Cartographic Education adding a cultural note. Early-20th-century houses and compact apartment buildings line the blocks, with porches and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Back Cove’s shoreline path frames the north edge with long water views and a commuter-friendly loop. Deering Oaks Park adds lawns, ponds, and seasonal events that spill into nearby streets.
