With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two bonus spaces, this home easily adapts to your lifestyle. A spacious room currently used as a playroom could become a first-floor primary suite, while a second bonus room is perfect for a home office, hobby room, or study. Upstairs, the walk-up attic provides approximately 920 square feet of unfinished space ready for storage or future expansion. Outside, mature oak trees create a private backdrop for the manageable quarter-acre lot, complete with a deck, shed, and chicken coop. Conveniently located near Nancy Loud Park with its community pool and playground, and within walking distance to East Rochester Elementary School, this home offers the perfect balance of character, convenience, and room to grow. One of the largest homes currently available in the area, 842 Portland Street is a rare opportunity to own a home with the kind of space and personality that doesn't come along often. After more than five decades with one owner, it's ready for its next chapter.
