The Boulevard is beckoning! The Back Cove trail, your gateway to outdoor beauty is just steps away from this 3 bedroom ranch, where you can embrace Portland's best: serene walks along the water's edge, moments of reflection with the skyline in view, and easy access to all the charm, culture, and cuisine that the nearby Portland peninsula has to offer. This is more than a house—it's a lifestyle, with the privacy of the fenced-in yard, seasonal water views, the constant refreshing scent of salt air and sense of place, to welcome you home each day. Inside, the blend of classic charm and thoughtful updates create a welcoming atmosphere. The hardwood floors, rich in color, flow seamlessly throughout, and the open living and dining areas, where sunlight filters in, invite gatherings both large and small. The kitchen, with new appliances, is a welcome escape for your culinary creativity. Two of the bedrooms, including one currently used as a den with a gas fireplace, provide access to a spacious rear deck—ideal for outdoor gatherings or quiet relaxation. Downstairs, the lower level offers a cozy retreat, complete with a family room, full bath, and laundry—perfect for those moments when you want to unwind away from the main living space. This home speaks to those who value simplicity, comfort, and connection to both nature and community. Whether you're enjoying the fresh breeze from Back Cove or taking advantage of the walking trail steps away, this home provides an ideal mix of coastal charm and city convenience, just minutes from all that Portland's peninsula has to offer. This is an exceptional offering on a large fenced in lot, in one of the best neighborhoods in Portland. Open House Saturday, September 21, 1:00-2:30.
