OLD ORCHARD BEACH – Here at The Beachwoods is a very affordable townhouse condominium that’s ideal for a first-time buyer.
Offered for sale at just $127,500, the shingled, multiple-level home was built in 1986 and measures 914 square feet of living space. Adding more than 200 square feet to that total is a wonderful, southwest-oriented solarium that was “bumped out” some years ago.
Three-season at present, the flagstone-paved room does have a heat source via a vent from the kitchen, making year-round use a possibility.
In the tiled entryway are coat closet to one side, full bath with soaking tub to the other. The main living level is down several steps, and is carpeted and open-concept, with a dining area at the rear, and living room at the far end.
A pair of full-view doors opens to the solarium. The bright kitchen is open to the living room through a bar that has an overhang for dining on one side. Laundry is housed in an enclosure next to the pantry.
On the upper level are two bedrooms; the larger, the master, is on the right; each bedroom has a double closet. The landing provides a perfect office/computer area.
Storage is ample, with under-eaves augmenting all the closets. Windows are new – The Beachwoods is known for excellent maintenance. And also for neighborliness, actually. The tennis court is a nice amenity on these 11.6 acres. The association allows one to have two indoor cats.
Investors considering the condo could expect a monthly rental of $900-$1,000. (The unit can be rented only monthly; i.e., not weekly, despite the great summer-season appeal of the location.)
The condo is not only just one mile from the sands of the famous beach, via Portland Avenue and Walnut Street; it’s also easy-access to shopping and all conveniences, and very handy to U.S. Route 1 and I-295. (On a recent winter-day visit, you could hear the surf from the parking area.)
Annual taxes are $1,783; monthly association fees, $279.
The condominium, No. 102 at 135 Portland Road, is listed by Nancy Z. Moreshead of Best Maine Beach Properties in Old Orchard Beach.
