Feeling priced out of Portland? Looking for a quality home at a reasonable price? Searching for the perfect flip? Your wait is over! Dated to 1885, this quality-built home enjoys retained period details, many updates and near limitless up-side potential. From French doors and gleaming hardwood floors to high ceilings and lots of light - the space is inviting and livable. The sun-filled family room and open concept kitchen and dining area are ideal for the chef/entertainer in all of us. The second level offers 3 bedrooms, laundry and full bath. The third floor is ready for re-imagination. Add in efficient heat, a pellet stove and several semi-recent updates and you have an opportunity not to be missed. Sellers prefer to close quickly and occupy the property until September 1st.
