Description

Don't you love Bungalows? The charm, the period details, the quality construction, the single level living, the just right size and more... These were the original ''small houses,'' and the form and function is as appealing now as it was over 100 years ago. Located equidistant to in-town Portland and the center of Falmouth, this is the perfect stop for folks that want to be close but not urban. The walkability and access to recreation or nature is impressive - from Back Cove, Mackworth Island and...Don't you love Bungalows? The charm, the period details, the quality construction, the single level living, the just right size and more... These were the original ''small houses,'' and the form and function is as appealing now as it was over 100 years ago. Located equidistant to in-town Portland and the center of Falmouth, this is the perfect stop for folks that want to be close but not urban. The walkability and access to recreation or nature is impressive - from Back Cove, Mackworth Island and Maine Audubon to Portland Country Club and Maine Yacht Center, access to your best life is just outside your door. If you want the ease of condo life but don't want the condo, this is about as good as it gets. This home is turnkey and worry-free in every way: new roof, replacement windows, low/no maintenance siding and trim, efficient heat, rare garage, 3 bedrooms, finished basement, great sun porch, open concept living and kitchen, sweet back patio, glimpses of the water... Want a house you can just enjoy? Want a house that you can use while here and not worry about while you're not? Welcome home!
