Picture yourself living in this organic gardener's cozy cape situated in a quiet Nason's Corner neighborhood, and lovingly cared for by the same family for over fifty years. Upon entering the open concept kitchen you can feel the warmth that comes from the hard wood floors and solid wood cabinets. A large kitchen sink looks out to the spacious back yard. Large windows on three sides and a large South facing window brings in bright sunshine all winter long and provides space for plants to grow. The kitchen opens to an inviting family room with a Yotul wood stove and ample space for relaxation and entertaining - especially when everyone wants to be in the kitchen. A first floor bedroom and full bath make this house perfect for those not wanting to do stairs. French doors open to the formal living room and lead up to the two second floor bedrooms. There is a partially finished basement with ample space to expand and includes another room currently being used as a fourth bedroom.
The yard has gardens that have been lovingly tended for over 50 years by the same family, including two mature maples trees that provide maple sap each spring; beautiful
Rhododendrons, azaleas, tulips, roses, lilacs, iris, and many other perennial flowers. There are whole beds of raspberries, blackberries, and the private backyard has tall fences covered with kiwi berry and grape vines. There is a one car garage with easy sliding back door access to a large south facing garden with 250 sq.ft. of two foot high raised beds filled with robust organic soil and an irrigation system for growing greens, tomatoes, and other vegetables.
Seller states: ''there is a three season insulated greenhouse, which on a sunny day in January will reach up to 90 degrees, and the water barrel never freezes solid. You can be harvesting greens from April thru June and again in the Fall.''
The property is just minutes away from I95, Downtown Portland, the bus line, and The Fore River Sanctuary.
