** Interior photos available October 15th/16th. Showings begin October 16th. ** A fenced backyard, a deck under the trees, and room to spread out inside make this Portland raised ranch feel like home from the start. Set on a dead end street, it brings together useful living space, outdoor enjoyment, and a location that keeps everyday stops and weekend plans within easy reach. The rear deck has space for morning coffee or an evening outside, with steps down to a level lawn framed by trees and established plantings. There is room for a garden, a dining table, and gatherings that linger into the evening. Inside, approximately 1,262 finished square feet are arranged across two levels. The main floor includes two bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen, living room, and dining room, with a broad front window bringing in natural light. Wood, tile, and vinyl flooring run throughout, and the kitchen includes a dishwasher, electric range, microwave, and refrigerator. Downstairs, approximately 494 finished square feet include two additional rooms with flexibility for a home office, media room, creative space, or exercise area. Daylight windows, laundry hookups, storage, and interior access make the lower level a practical part of the home. A bulkhead adds exterior basement access. The 0.11 acre lot includes a paved driveway with parking off the street, along with public water and sewer. The location adds another layer of appeal: Northgate shopping and groceries are nearby, while Pine Grove Park and the Presumpscot River Preserve bring wooded trails and riverside scenery into the surrounding area. Back Cove's scenic loop, downtown restaurants, and the Old Port's shops and waterfront expand the possibilities for time out. Convenient access to major roads makes it easy to connect with the rest of Greater Portland. Room to garden, space for hobbies, and plenty to explore nearby.
