This charming cape style home is located on a cul-de-sac in the convenient North Deering area of Portland. This 3 bedroom/1 full bath home is bright and sunny with an eat-in kitchen (check out that retro stove). The first floor has hardwood floors and a retro style bathroom (yes that's right - 70's style wallpaper even on the ceiling!). The second floor has a 3rd bedroom and an additional room for an office/storage/playroom, which definitely could be expanded upon with a dormer. This home is ready to move in 'as is' or bring your updates and ideas. There are endless possibilities. The backyard is large and private, and the perennial and herb gardens that once flourished here are awaiting your love. Come look inside - it won't last long!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
