Beyond the updated kitchen and renovated baths, this home has seen extensive improvements where they matter most. Set on a generously sized lot with expansive side yards, including a fenced area just off the deck that's perfect for pets or play, 96 Ridgeland Road offers outdoor space that's hard to find this close to everything South Portland has to offer. Inside, you'll find a bright, inviting layout centered around a spacious kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an oversized island that opens to the main living area. Exposed wood beams add warmth and character, while large windows fill the home with natural light. Two beautifully renovated full baths and the convenience of first-floor laundry make everyday living easy. Upstairs, you'll even catch views of Portland's West End, a reminder of just how close you are to the city's amenities while enjoying the comfort of a residential setting. Those improvements extend well beyond the finishes. Over the past three years, the roof, heating system, electrical, and plumbing have all been updated, providing peace of mind and allowing the next owner to focus on enjoying the home rather than tackling major projects. Outside, the large deck, generous side yards, fenced area, and storage shed provide plenty of space to relax, entertain, garden, or let pets roam. Conveniently located just minutes from shopping, restaurants, beaches, downtown Portland, and major commuter routes, this home offers a rare combination of updated systems, generous outdoor space, and long-term flexibility. With a strong rental history, it also presents an excellent opportunity for investors or buyers looking to keep their options open.
