69 Montrose Ave, Portland, ME, 04103

Nestled into one of Portland's most desirable neighborhoods, this charming home is the perfect balance of period details and modern finishes. Original moldings, hardware, and stained glass windows differentiate the home from its more modern counterparts. Although off-peninsula, its location provides greater walkability and bikeability than most Portland neighborhoods with Rosemont Market and Bakery being just mere minutes away. An expansive wraparound porch greets you from the street and offers a window into the neighborhood. It's a given that you'll spend warm summer nights out here in the rocking chairs chatting with neighbors as they stroll by on their evening walks. It's that kind of neighborhood. As you step into the home's large foyer, you immediately note the attractive balustrade and think that it's refreshing to see a home that's retained its original charm. A large living room and dining room flows effortlessly into the extensively renovated kitchen, all while being bathed in natural light courtesy of the southern and western exposure. A functional mudroom off the backdoor provides utility and ample space for all your seasonal and winter gear. A full bathroom, laundry, and flex space round out the first floor. Another full bathroom anchors the second floor where it sits nestled amongst four bedrooms. An additional space at the base of the stairs to the partially finished attic provides the perfect setup for a home office. The other half of the attic offering additional expansion potential, if needed. The home's exterior space offers its own charm. While it provides ample room to run around and create an outdoor living room to take advantage of warmer weather, the crown jewel of the backyard has got to be its insulated treehouse. Kids and adults alike will appreciate the ability to escape and savor some quiet time. This is clearly a special home that deserves a caring steward for its next chapter.
