In these uncertain times, there is nothing more certain than it being necessary to have a comfortable retreat.  This adorable, updated ranch, in one of South Portland’s most desirable neighborhoods, meets that need. Everything has been done to make this home a place to relax and enjoy the indoor space as well as the private back yard with its 26’ x 12’ deck overlooking the mature perennials and 10’ x 12’ garden shed.   Open concept kitchen with granite counters and bright white cabinets stand out in this sun-filled area that flows seamlessly into the dining space and living room.  Newly refinished hardwood floors work well to keep housekeeping to a minimum in addition to adding warmth. Speaking of warmth, no chill here! Recent 38,400 BTU Rennai heater on the first level and 37,000 BTU Empire in the basement. Both are natural gas fired, direct vents.  On demand hot water is also gas fired.    

Laid out to work well for the current sellers, the rooms in this house can be configured to work well for the lucky new owners as well.  Kitchen/dining, full bath and three other rooms on the first level and an additional three rooms, full bath, laundry nook and work/hobby space in the basement.  See upgrades addendum for more detail.  This house is not a drive by!
