Single Family Residence in Portland, ME - $665,000

Welcome to the home you've been waiting for in Portland's coveted Deering Center Neighborhood. This is that front-porch, wave-to-your-neighbors, kids-on-bikes, chat-on-the-sidewalk, kind of street. Residential, quiet, community oriented, and yet you'll find your everyday favorite buzzy locations just around the corner: Noble BBQ, Pat's Market, Norimoto Bakery, Rambler Cafe, Lecha, the Deering neighborhood schools, parks and green spaces, and a web of tree-lined residential side streets perfect for an evening loop. Inside, this loved home has classic period character with an easy, modern rhythm. The main level flows naturally for real life—living to dining to kitchen to outdoors—so weeknights and weekend gatherings feel effortless. With brand new windows, a refreshed kitchen and baths, and a high-efficiency Viessmann system, this home is truly move-in-ready—stylish, comfortable, and practical. Outside, you've got the good stuff: an oversize multi-level deck overlooking a spacious backyard—think dinners off the grill, a fire-pit night with friends, and room for raised beds or a four-legged friend. There's additional space for bikes, skis, and beach gear under the deck, which is easily accessible. If that's not enough you've got a garage and walk out basement. If you've been waiting for that well maintained, recently updated Deering Center home that blends character and functionality—this is it. Come see 54 Alba Street and feel how easy life can be when everything you love is this close.
