Distinctive and spacious, this sun-drenched three-bedroom Victorian sits on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Portland's coveted Deering Highlands. The neighborhood is ideally located just a few blocks away from the restaurants of Woodford Corner and the conveniences of Deering Center, while being within minutes of Downtown and the vibrant cultural and dining scene for which Portland is known. The grounds include professionally landscaped perennial gardens lending curb appeal and privacy. The front porch welcomes you into a gracious entryway. Soaring ceilings, oversized newer windows adorned in period moldings, and refinished original wood flooring blend historic charm with contemporary upgrades. Dual living areas lend versatility and flexible use, with a gas fireplace creating a warm, intimate atmosphere. The ample dining area flows into a well-appointed eat-in kitchen of ceiling-high cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a generous island, and tile flooring warmed by radiant heat. A private rear deck overlooks the back gardens, boasting morning sun and a shaded afternoon retreat. A mudroom and powder room complete the first level. The second floor features three ample bedrooms, generous closet space, and an updated bath with new vanity, hardware, and tile flooring. Additional features include a detached two-car garage with second level storage, unfinished full basement, and numerous upgrades. Enjoy ease of access to Baxter Woods Park, Back Cove, I-295/95, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Woodford Corner farmers market, Pat's Meat Market, James Beard awarded Norimoto bakery, a neighborhood library branch, and local schools.
