Property Description

This beautifully preserved New Englander with a detached legal ADU in one of Greater Portland's most sought-after locations offers an exceptional opportunity for owner-occupants looking to offset their expenses with rental income. A welcoming front hall showcases the home's original character with an elegant staircase and period millwork, inviting you inside to explore the expansive and flexible layout. The formal living room is anchored by a gas fireplace, while the comfortable family room overlooking the rear yard features a cozy heat stove. The updated kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and adjacent dining area. A full bath and additional room currently used as a bedroom complete the first floor. All of this flows seamlessly to an expansive tiered deck with hot tub, overlooking the private backyard and pool area.
