The home is ideal for families with school aged children in a dog-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of Longfelllow Elementary, Lincoln Middle School and Deering High School. Enjoy nearby baseball playing fields, a skating pond, Evergreen Cemetery Park, Pat's Meat Market, Jet Video Ice Cream, and the new Black Cat coffee shop. Inside, the home has recently refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout; classic moldings and large replacement windows; updated bedroom lighting; two full bedrooms and a den/study/nursery on the second floor and a third bedroom in the finished third floor.

If you're tired of apartment living and scrambling to find parking on the peninsula, you will appreciate the large flat driveway with ample room. When we shopped for homes in Portland, we were discouraged by scary basements and lack of general maintenance. This home has been kept in excellent condition and provides classy yet affordable living in Portland's best neighborhood.
