39 Hammond ST Portland, ME 04101

It is not often that a single family home comes available for sale on the Peninsula- Let alone one with off-street parking, private outdoor space & expansion potential, walkable to all this fabulous city has to offer!

Situated on the historic street that inspired Longfellow's poem ''The Ropewalk'', 39 Hammond perches above the trendy East Bayside neighborhood. This antique New Englander has been home to its current owner for 25 wonderful years, during which several big ticket items were tackled: New hot water heater installed in 2022, new Rinnai in 2022, propane fuel lines run in 2022, new roof in 2016, skylights in 2001, new electrical breaker panel & updated wiring in 2001, new siding & insulation in 1999. The driveway, which can squeeze 3 cars tandem, was paved in 2000.

The home is ready for some TLC. It's being sold ''as is'' & has been priced accordingly for its next steward to make their own updates. The kitchen is spacious, off of which is a 1/2 bath. Pass through a little room that serves as an ideal home office into the living room. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms & a full bathroom. The basement level is absolutely dry, has 7 ft ceilings & oversized egress windows that have long been boarded up- It's made up of 3 rooms that could be finished for additional living space, & a separate entrance out to the driveway that could be resurrected. The back enclosed porch (an additional 135 sq ft not included in the 833 square feet) is off the kitchen & opens out to the private outdoor area that could be reimagined into an urban garden oasis.

Head downhill to explore breweries & food trucks, or uphill to set up a remote office on East End Beach w/your toes in the sand. The Eastern Prom also has a public boat launch, fabulous walking trails, tennis courts & a playground for the kiddos. You're a stroll away from the Peninsula's most exceptional restaurants & bars including The Shop, Terralingua, Minato, Portland Zoo, LB Kitchen & more.
