24 Elmwood AVE South Portland, ME 04106

Absolutely adorable Dutch Colonial packs a whole lot of pretty into a tidy package! From the classic foyer to the rare cherry wood floors, from oodles of windows to the period light fixtures, this vintage treasure delivers all the charm! And it's a couple minutes' walk to the green belt and South Portland's compact and vibrant downtown.

An all-new kitchen features Mantra soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a Frigidaire appliance suite. The adjoining dining room is bright and sunny, and open to the living room, for front-to-back flow. And that gracious foyer is the kind of feature you just don't find in a contemporary house at this price point.

An elegant, turning staircase takes you to second floor, which also received the cherry-wood treatment. One large bedroom and two smaller ones all have good closets. And a renovated bath offers a custom tiled tub/ shower, a large vanity, and even room for laundry. Moen faucets throughout the home.

A total renovation has set this home up for an efficient and comfortable future: new efficient gas furnace; new insulation in attic and walls; new windows; new low-maintenance siding; efficient heat pump water heater; miraculous and efficient induction range (and Cuisinart cookware to go with it!); and nearly all the plumbing and electric are new as well. A dry-basement system is scheduled for installation. This restored jewel box is as practical as it is pretty!

The backyard is mostly fenced (neighbors' fences) and hosts a venerable old tree hydrangea.

Showing start June 1. Open house 6/2 noon to 2. Absolutely no offer will be accepted prior to 6/5 at 5 pm. . Pre-inspected. Broker owned.
