About This Home

This 3BR/1.5Ba house is in a highly-desirable Portland neighborhood, within easy walking distance to many amenities including coffee, library, supermarket, community garden and pool, park and more. It's less than 2 miles from UNE, Mercy and Maine Medical Center AND is super close to two major bus lines (and a 5 min drive from the airport). We are pet-loving landlords with decades of experience with great renters and this house is one of the very few rental properties on the entire quiet street. Some highlights: - Brand new high-efficiency heat pumps for low cost heating AND whole-house AC - Completely renovated kitchen with dishwasher, new electric stove, fridge, outside-exhaust vent and more - High efficiency washing machine (and an electric dryer) in the huge basement - Whole-house interconnected smoke and CO sensors - FREE WIFI - Private driveway with room for 3 cars - Large mudroom - great in winter! - Brand new hybrid heat pump water heater - Just-refinished red oak floors throughout - Fantastic natural light with brand new, highly efficient windows As you can see from the photos, the first floor has an open configuration with a large kitchen, full dining room, comfortable living room and one of the bedrooms (for first floor living or use it as a den).
