About this home

Right on the edge of Portland's Oakdale neighborhood, this 1930 Colonial combines the craftsmanship of its era with modern comforts. A columned portico welcomes you inside, where hardwood floors, crown molding, and wide cased openings connect the main living spaces. The living room centers on a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround, flanked by stained glass panels and a glass-front built-in cabinet. In the dining room, chair-rail and a built-in cabinet carry the home's classic detailing. The updated kitchen has white shaker cabinetry, granite counters, a tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink, stainless appliances, and a center island with additional seating. A bright, window-lined den makes an easy spot for morning coffee or reading, and a half bath completes the first floor. The second floor offers three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private bath finished in classic black-and-white tile, a second full bath, and convenient laundry. The finished lower level adds 420 square feet of flexible space for a gym, media room, playroom, or home office, plus a drop zone for coats and boots. An attached one-car garage with direct access to the home makes winter mornings a little easier, with no need to reach for the snow brush. Out back, the fenced yard offers a level lawn, a mature shade tree, a deck for outdoor dining, and a stone patio space for cookouts. Thompson's Point, local restaurants and breweries, the peninsula, and I-295 are all close by. With Portland Sea Dogs at nearby Hadlock Field and Hearts of Pine at Fitzpatrick Stadium, catching a game is an easy addition to life in this neighborhood.

About

Oakdale

Oakdale, located between Back Cove and Deering Oaks Park, is a residential and academic Portland neighborhood with leafy side streets and a steady campus-day rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Forest Avenue and Bedford Street corridor, where corner markets, coffee counters, and small eateries keep sidewalks active. The University of Southern Maine’s Portland campus anchors the area, with the Abromson Community Education Center and the Osher Map Library & Smith Center for Cartographic Education adding a cultural note. Early-20th-century houses and compact apartment buildings line the blocks, with porches and mature trees shaping the streetscape. Back Cove’s shoreline path frames the north edge with long water views and a commuter-friendly loop. Deering Oaks Park adds lawns, ponds, and seasonal events that spill into nearby streets.
