A secluded neighborhood on Portland's waterfront remains one of the areas last remaining hidden gems. This bright and sunny home sits on an oversized triple lot, offering great opportunities for expansion or accessory structures. The modern kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining space, which opens up to a newly rebuilt and enlarged rear deck overlooking the spacious yard, gardens, and Casco Bay. Towards the front of the home, the living room features a bay window to capture extensive water views. A full bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, three nicely sized bedrooms and a full bath offer ample space. The pull down attic offers storage opportunities, or use your imagination to finish off even more space and create dramatic elevated water views. With recently added high efficiency heat pumps for heating and cooling, a new gas boiler and radiators, spray foam insulation in the basement and attic, a new roof, and a number of new windows, the home is primed for high performance in all seasons. With a nearby neighborhood beach, the Portland Trails system, and a full service marina out your front door, enjoy all the pleasures of living along the coast of Maine, with the conveniences of Portland right at your fingertips.

A two minute walk to the neighborhood beach where you can SUP, kayak or fish before work or after school. Bring the lifestyle you have been seeking into your everyday.
