    What's special

    Location, location! On a large corner lot in South Portland's desirable Meetinghouse Hill neighborhood, this traditional three bedroom home offers a rare blend of privacy and accessibility, where you can enjoy a coastal lifestyle at your doorstep. Walk or bike to two live theaters, local favorites like Scratch Baking and The Cookie Jar, Willard Beach and Bug Light, David's 388 and Leluco Bistro, and the Southern Maine Community College campus. Inside, the home is filled with sunlight and charm - especially in the welcoming three-season sunroom that captures golden morning light. A bright mudroom entry from the four-car driveway adds function, and the old fashioned kitchen brings a touch of vintage flair, awaiting your creative touches. The house has three distinct heating zones, and a natural gas insert in the living room fireplace that provides warmth and ambience. Additional features include a built-in china cabinet in the dining room, a bathroom with a walk-in closet, and a large attic that offers exciting potential for future expansion. The spacious, clean basement has direct access to the outside. Outdoors you'll find a mature and thoughtfully landscaped property with beautiful mature plantings and peaceful spaces, surrounded by privacy hedges and a wall of lilacs. With immediate access to public transportation and a welcoming neighborhood vibe, this is an exceptional opportunity to own in one of Maine's most beloved coastal communities.
