Perched up on a coveted corner lot in North Deering, just steps from the scenic Presumpscot River Trail and Portland's extensive 70-mile trail network, this delightful Cape offers space, charm, and endless possibilities—including ADU potential in the oversized detached garage. From the moment you step inside, you'll feel at home. The formal front entry and center staircase lead to a sunny living room, where the bay window floods the space with natural light and a cozy wood-burning fireplace is framed by a wall of bookshelves. The adjacent dining room is perfect for gatherings, flowing seamlessly into the eat-in kitchen, where a picture window overlooks the expansive, private backyard—your own little retreat. A first-floor bedroom or office and half bath add flexibility to the main level, while upstairs, you'll find three nice sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with double closets and additional storage, plus a full bath. Need even more space? The finished basement offers a cozy den or playroom, a separate office, storage, a laundry area, and walkout access to the yard, along with an attached one-car garage. With major updates already taken care of—including gleaming new slate flooring in the entry way in to the first floor bathroom, every surface painted, wallpaper removed, a brand-new; roof, LG appliances, updated electrical, and half bath -- also newer high-efficiency boiler, and a whole-house generator—you can move right in and make it your own. And with a large, detached garage offering potential for a workshop, home business, or ADU conversion, the possibilities are endless!
