Character, location, and upside, this 1930s four-square colonial delivers all three. Set on a sidewalk-lined street in one of Portland's most walkable neighborhoods, the home is a short stroll to Payson Park and the Back Cove trail loop.
The southwest facing living spaces fill with natural light front to back. Hardwood floors run through the living room, dining room, and eat-in kitchen. A back sunroom overlooking Fall Brook stream is the kind of space that sells itself, quiet, private, and genuinely unique for the neighborhood.
Four bedrooms, 1.5 baths, an attached one-car garage, a heat pump already in place, and a new roof. The bones are solid. The setting is exceptional. The finishing touches are yours to make.
Bring your vision. The location does the rest.
