Expansive, Sun-Filled Lot in Portland's Desirable Capisic/Rosemont Neighborhood A rare opportunity to build in one of Portland's most sought-after and convenient neighborhoods. This elevated and open lot offers approximately 40' of frontage and measures roughly 40' x ~163', totaling an impressive 6,520sf or 0.149 acres. Note - seller is willing to sell a larger portion - see listing for 13,200sf (. 3 acres) for $345,000. The options in this coveted RN1 zone are as abundant as the sunlight -- perfect for a spacious single-family home, a single-family with ADU(s), or multiple units. The city's new Cottage Court use would allow for up to 12 smaller homes and might be the ideal path for a developer. Tucked into a quiet, residential setting, the lot is remarkably private. To the west, a historic single-family home; to the east, the landmark chapel of the former convent, now the Frances Wade House. The rear quarter of the property is wooded, wild, and wonderful natural backdrop. Whether you're envisioning a family compound, a multi-unit or condo development, or several single-family homes with potential for additional ADUs, this property can accommodate it all. You could even leverage the southern exposure to build an off-grid, net-zero energy home. Opportunities like this are few and far between -- bring your imagination and seize this chance before it's gone

Rosemont, located between Back Cove and Deering Oaks Park, is a residential and walkable Portland neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Brighton Avenue at Stevens Avenue, where corner markets, coffee counters, and everyday services keep sidewalks active. Local pillars include Rosemont Market & Bakery for pantry staples, Bissell Brothers Brewing Company for taproom culture, and the Portland Farmers’ Market at Deering Oaks for seasonal ritual. Housing leans toward classic New England colonials and multifamily buildings with front porches and small yards. Back Cove’s trail and nearby parks shape a routine of runs, dog walks, and casual meetups.
