About this home
BIG YARD. BIG UPDATES. BIG REASONS TO LOVE THIS HOME! Welcome to 31 Saugus Street, where privacy, space, and a long list of improvements come together in a way that's hard to find in Portland! Let's start with the YARD, because this one deserves some attention! Set back from the road on an impressively spacious lot, this property offers something you don't come across every day in Portland: a generous front yard, a private backyard, and room to actually spread out and enjoy it all. The sellers have completely transformed the outdoor space, creating a beautiful lawn, thoughtful landscaping, a fire pit area, and a rebuilt back deck that's ready for summer cookouts, morning coffee, and evenings around the fire. Inside, you'll love the easy, functional flow of the first floor. The layout feels welcoming and practical, with a refreshed mudroom that makes everyday coming and going a breeze. The first-floor bedroom offers fantastic flexibility, whether you need a comfortable bedroom, a dedicated home office, or a little bit of both. Downstairs, the partially finished basement adds even more possibilities with space for a second living area, home gym, playroom, or hobby space. And here's where this home REALLY shines: the big-ticket improvements have already been taken care of! A new roof, new propane heating system, repaved driveway, new front and storm doors, rebuilt deck and back entryway, and a new storage shed are just some of the investments the sellers have made. It's the combination that makes this property special. A home that's been thoughtfully improved, flexible living spaces, incredible outdoor space, and a sense of privacy that can be tough to find within Portland. More yard. More flexibility. More to love. Welcome home to 31 Saugus Street!
Riverton, located between Forest Avenue and the Presumpscot River, is a residential and riverside Portland neighborhood with a village-style main street and a network of wooded trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Riverton Trolley Park area along Forest Avenue, where corner markets, takeout counters, and everyday services create a steady street rhythm. Longfellow’s Greenhouses anchors local plant culture, while Riverton Community Center and the adjacent Riverton Trolley Park serve as civic touchstones. Housing leans toward early-to-mid-century capes and colonials with deep yards and mature trees. River edges and nearby preserves shape a routine of walks, runs, and seasonal birdwatching. The pace stays practical and grounded, with downtown reached via Forest Avenue corridors.
