Mid-Century Modern home fits today's contemporary lifestyle with its open floor plan, warm wood, walls of glass, and soaring ceilings. The exposed post and beam construction provides a feeling of spaciousness while also feeling cozy. The seller has made significant improvements to the home with the goal of preserving the original mid-century aesthetic from the 1959 architectural design. True to the signature elements of its original Acorn Deck company design, this home was sited on the crest of a hill so that sunlight travels 360 degrees around the top floor throughout the day, ending with sunset views over Portland's West End and beyond. As you enter the home from the front door, hardwood stairs carry you to the dining room and living room, with its wood burning fireplace. The kitchen and living area are enveloped in light with vast windows and a vaulted ceiling. On this floor you will also find two bedrooms, a bathroom and a deck to enjoy coffee to start your day or dinner on a summer evening. As you make your way to the lower level, you will enter a spacious family room/office with a second wood burning fireplace and direct access to the back yard. Additionally, there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and laundry. This home is spacious, with plentiful storage. Improvements include a new roof on the house and garage, insulation, heat pump, new Marvin fiberglass and wood, double-paned thermal windows, new French doors, and custom blinds - to mention a few. (See attachment for a complete list.) The property, which has rich organic soil, also has apple and pear fruit trees in the rear yard. You will love the private nature of this location while still being within walking distance of the South Portland Community Center, Wainwright athletic fields, Hinckley park, and the last leg of the Eastern Trail that takes you to Bug Light Park. Also nearby are beaches, restaurants and shopping. Attached 2 car garage. Don't miss out on this work of art. Schedule a viewing now.
