Just five minutes to Willard Beach, this home makes it easy to soak up everything people love about South Portland living. Morning walks on the beach, bike rides along the Greenbelt, and bagels from Scratch before heading home—it's all part of the rhythm here. Sunlight pours through the large living room windows, highlighting the freshly refinished floors and wood-burning fireplace. The floor plan flows easily into the dining room, where a beautiful built-in adds a touch of classic charm. A first-floor bedroom offers great flexibility—perfect as an office, playroom, or guest space. Thoughtful updates like a new roof and new heat pumps bring comfort and peace of mind through every season. The fenced backyard offers room to garden, grill, and relax in privacy. The neighborhood has a welcoming feel—neighbors wave from their porches, kids ride bikes to the playground, and there's an easy sense of connection. With local favorites like Terra Cotta, David's, Bistro Leluco, and Willard Scoops just a short stroll away, everything you love about South Portland living is right here. Easy, bright, and full of charm—this is Willard living at its best.
