Set across from Baxter Woods Conservation land on a quiet, tree-lined street in Deering Center, 138 Hartley Street is a true oasis in the city. This 1900 classic New Englander is sited on a nearly 1/4 acre lot surrounded by mature trees, shrubs, and perennial gardens. Inside, sunlight streams through the windows onto freshly refinished original wood floors, and well-proportioned living spaces that allow for gatherings with family and friends as well as cozy nooks to curl up with a book and a cup of coffee. The updated kitchen offers plenty of counter space, ample storage, newer stainless steel appliances, and opens to the family room overlooking the back yard. Rounding out the first floor are formal living and dining spaces, a half bath, and a sunporch inviting you to take a nap.
The second floor offers a spacious primary suite with a full bathroom and large dressing room that would also make a great home office. There are two additional bedrooms with beautiful bay windows and a full guest bath. On the third floor there is a fourth bedroom and an additional flex space.
Improvements for comfort and lower maintenance include heat pumps, replacement windows, a new roof, and recent re-siding.
This wonderful property truly combines the beauty and character of classic New England architecture with modern amenities that provide ease and convenience for modern living.
The cherry on the sundae is the exceptional location, with restaurants, shopping, schools, a library, and Portland trails all just moments away.
