About This 1800 Colonial In Portland Maine

A rare find in the North Deering area of Portland. This 1800’s colonial is conveniently located a mile from Northgate Shopping area and allows easy access to the turnpike. This inviting 5 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for 57 years. The entry porch with fieldstone floor tiles and built in benches gives direct access to the kitchen. The kitchen has hardwood floors and custom cabinets that include a wall of pantry storage. The dining room and living room welcomes you with a fireplace, brick hearth, wood wainscoting and beams.

The original front staircase walls have been meticulously hand painted by a local muralist, depicting the area around the house and Portland. The cozy den has a wall of windows and a wood stove. On the second floor there is a center hallway leading to 2 full baths and 5 bedrooms, two of which have fireplaces. A sunroom is situated on the back of the house allowing for the warmth of the afternoon sun and a view of the landscaped back yard.

A large breezeway connects the sunroom to the attached 2 bay garage that includes loft storage and a rear storage room. Enjoy the days and evenings on the large deck surrounded by mature trees. The expansive yard includes a brick walkway that leads to a seating area under a crabapple tree overlooking a lily pond located in the back corner of the property.
