There's something about 97 Walton Street that feels effortless -- and that's because so much of the heavy lifting has already been done. Fresh paint throughout. Beautifully refinished hardwood floors. A new roof overhead. A one-year-old energy-efficient boiler. Two heat pumps provide both heating and cooling. This is the kind of home where the updates are not looming -- many are complete. The classic Cape layout lives beautifully. A front-to-back living room offers space to gather, anchored by a gas stove that brings warmth and character. Sunlight pours in, wood floors glow, and the space feels equal parts cozy and open. Two generously sized bedrooms offer comfort without compromise, and with a full bath on each floor, the home functions easily for everyday living, guests, or work-from-home flexibility. Outside, the yard is larger than most and fully fenced and ready for summer. A proper deck for dining. A patio for evening unwinding. Storage for bikes, garden tools, and all the Maine gear. Minutes to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, and the trails and water views of Back Cove, this location delivers the Portland lifestyle buyers are searching for. Move in, unpack, and start living.
