SOUTH PORTLAND – This classic Craftsman property built in 1935 has seen many updates in recent years, and all of them – from the addition of a mahogany front porch to a 2014 heating system replacement – only enhance the home’s natural appeal.
The maple-floored main level has been both expanded (the original front porch has been enclosed to enlarge the big living room); and made open-concept. The living room features twin skylights and a brick, wood-burning fireplace with an insert and a beautiful dentil-molding mantel. The kitchen has newer, stainless appliances, and granite surfaces.
Upstairs, where floors are also maple,the two good-sized front bedrooms have deep closets; the master has a lighted step-in closet and gets extra light from a pair of skylights. The beautifully tiled bath has its own skylight, above the tub.
A great bonus is the detached garage, (built in 2004) whose walkup second level provides a first-rate studio.
The basement, which is almost daylight thanks to its large windows, functions as a workshop/studio. The wall-hung Viessman propane unit supplies very economical three-zone heat (one zone for each level).
The ?-acre lot is a treat. Professional hardscaping includes walkways, and a circular, stone fire pit and benches. Gardeners will enjoy not only the 12-foot-by-14-foot raised bed but also a garage-side bed perfect for for climbers such as clematis. There are cool ornamentals trees (flamingo, and weeping cherry) and a paved area for extra off-street parking.
The very walkable Meeting House Hill location is another plus, very handy to Willard Beach, Fort Williams, restaurants and bakeries.
