Right on the edge of Portland's Oakdale neighborhood, this 1930 Colonial combines the craftsmanship of its era with modern comforts. A columned portico welcomes you inside, where hardwood floors, crown molding, and wide cased openings connect the main living spaces. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround, flanked by stained glass panels and a glass-front built-in cabinet. In the dining room, chair-rail and a built-in cabinet carry the home's classic detailing. The updated kitchen has white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, a tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, and a center island with additional seating. A bright, window-lined den makes an easy spot for morning coffee or reading, and a half bath completes the first floor. The second floor offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private bath finished in classic black-and-white tile, a second full bath, and convenient laundry. The finished lower level adds 420 square feet of flexible space for a gym, media room, playroom, or home office, plus a drop zone for coats and boots. An attached one-car garage with direct access to the home makes winter mornings a little easier, with no need to reach for the snow brush. Out back, the fenced yard offers a level lawn, a mature shade tree, a deck for outdoor dining, and a stone patio space for cookouts. Thompson's Point, local restaurants and breweries, the peninsula, and I-295 are all close by. With Portland Sea Dogs at nearby Hadlock Field and Hearts of Pine at Fitzpatrick Stadium, catching a game is an easy addition to life in this neighborhood.
