111 Virginia StreetPortland, ME 04103Sale Price: $401,000

Adorable vintage four-square in a wonderful Portland neighborhood! This classic design offers an oversized living room, with connected dining room and kitchen, for a surprising sense of spaciousness. A handsome open stairway contributes to the architectural texture of the living area; the dining room retains its original built-in china cabinet. The hardwood floors are likewise retained. The kitchen is updated with light maple cabinets that go clear to the ceiling. Up the Craftsman-style stairway, the second floor presents three good bedrooms, and a full bath. And the original hardwood remains throughout this level, as well. Off the dining room you'll find a deck big enough to invite great gatherings in all seasons. And the garage, with workbench space, invites vehicles that prefer not to contend with snow! The oversized lot is well landscaped with mature trees and privacy plantings, and a picturesque period fence as well. This is an old fashioned neighborhood, where lots of people walk, and greet their neighbors. Much-loved Pine Grove Park is just a couple blocks north, and a few blocks south is the large Ocean Ave Recreation Area with more than two miles of trails and a dog park. Oat Nuts Park, on the shore of the roiling Presumpscot River, is close by as well. Just a few minutes' drive from 295 and downtown Portland, this neighborhood offers the best of both worlds: easy access to the City, but with that sweet quality of life that only a true neighborhood can provide.
