A Rosemont classic— move-in ready, with a brand new porch, deck, 2-car garage & timeless charm. A seamless blend of past and present awaits at 79 Frances Street, where a comprehensive renovation and a brand-new 2-car age garage have elevated this Portland classic into a home of effortless style and enduring quality. Step inside to discover sunlit interiors anchored by beautifully restored original hardwood floors and framed by generous baseboards—subtle details that speak to the home's timeless character. The open living and dining areas flow naturally into a sleek, modern kitchen, where top-tier appliances and contemporary fixtures set the stage for both daily life and special occasions. A glass door leads directly from the kitchen to an oversized deck, creating a seamless extension of the living space and making entertaining—both indoors and out—remarkably easy. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, each thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of natural light and quiet. The fully renovated bath features modern finishes that complement the home's classic charm. Downstairs, a full basement provides abundant space for storage, recreation, or hobbies—offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Every central system has been updated, including plumbing, electrical, and windows, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. The front porch has been meticulously reconstructed and freshly painted, welcoming you home with classic curb appeal, while the newly paved driveway adds everyday convenience. Situated on a quiet street just moments from Portland's vibrant Thompson's Point, 79 Frances Street is more than a renovation—it's a thoughtful reinvention, ready for its next chapter.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
