72 Vannah Ave, Portland, ME 04103

This 1947 Back Bay Cape retains a lot of its original character with exterior charm, hardwood flooring, a vintage fireplace and a 2020 kitchen remodel that maintains a clean and classic feel and look. A 2020 addition introduced some modern flare with a great room off the back of the home with cathedral ceiling, polished concrete floors with radiant heat for comfort, sliders to the private back yard, a mudroom entry area for convenience, a custom spiral staircase to a catwalk perfect for reading, writing or lounging and a 2nd floor extension that added a dream primary bathroom with soaking tub, skylight and tiled shower. The home offers a flexible design that works nicely for a 3- or 4-bedroom layout. If you only need 3 bedrooms, the 2nd floor can be used as a primary suite with the 4th bedroom serving as a large walk-in closet and changing room. Other features include newer windows, a 2019 roof, added insulation for efficiency, a new driveway and paver patio, 2020 appliances, a full basement partially finished with heat and a half bath perfect for a gym, office or playroom. The garage has power and sliders to the back yard and would make a nice studio or workshop. The Back Bay location is walkable to restaurants, cafes, Baxter Boulevard, parks, schools or an easy drive to everything Portland has to offer.
