Location, charm, and peace of mind, just off Baxter Boulevard with partial water views! This 4-bedroom Cape has been extensively updated in recent years and sits on a quiet side street in one of Portland's most sought-after neighborhoods. You're moments from the Back Cove Trail, with sunrise views over the water and a loop made for running, biking, and evening strolls. Barrows Park is right around the corner, and the wooded paths of Baxter Woods are close by. The big-ticket items are already done: a new roof, new windows upstairs, a new breaker panel, an updated boiler, a new oil tank, ductless mini-splits upstairs for efficient heating and cooling, a new garage door, and new granite front steps. Just move in and enjoy! Inside, the light-filled living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace, and the formal dining room is ready for holiday dinners. The kitchen features butcher block counters. Hardwood floors run through much of the home. The flexible layout offers a first-floor primary bedroom plus a second first-floor bedroom, with two more bedrooms upstairs. That's room for guests, a home office, or a creative studio. Outside, entertain on the oversized Trex deck overlooking the fenced, nicely landscaped backyard. An attached 1-car garage with direct entry and extra storage depth makes Maine winters easier. A full, unfinished basement offers even more storage. Everyday conveniences are minutes away: grocery stores, coffee shops, and local restaurants along Forest Avenue, with Back Cove shopping close by. The Old Port's waterfront dining, boutiques, and nightlife are just a short drive. This is the move-in-ready Portland home you've been waiting for. **OPEN HOUSE: SATURDAY 10/17 10AM - 12PM**
