Welcome to a beautiful home in Portland's beloved Back Cove neighborhood. It has been renovated to offer modern comfort while preserving the charm and character of its original design. With over 3,700 square feet, it's a rare find, offering four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and plenty of space to spread out, entertain, or enjoy a little extra breathing room. Downstairs, soaring ceilings and a thoughtful layout make it ideal for gathering. With two living rooms, an eat-in kitchen, and great flow throughout, you'll feel how special this space is the moment you walk in. Upstairs, you'll find the primary suite with a walk-in closet, full bath, and a bonus room perfect for a nursery or home office, along with two more bedrooms — one with its own half bath. A fourth bedroom on the main level offers great flexibility and could serve as a guest room, office, gym, or potential in-law suite. Full of natural light and meaningful updates, this is one of those special Portland homes that truly has it all: space, style, character, and an unbeatable location just minutes from the Back Cove Trail, Payson Park, local schools, Woodford Corner, Monte's, and more.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
