25 Sargent

Property Description:

Check out this big, beautiful bungalow! In the quintessential old-fashioned neighborhood! In wonderful, walkable Westbrook! As bungalows go, this is a stunner. It starts with the curb appeal of a Craftsman-style porch, tapered columns, and picturesque eve brackets—all still clad in shingles, as it was meant to be. Inside you’ll find a real foyer, with room to hang your coat and lose your shoes. A long sweep of hardwood flooring invites you first to a den with its original fireplace; then a spacious family room; and a dedicated dining room. (With a little revision the dining room could be a first floor bedroom.) A generous sized kitchen with tile flooring, and a half bath serve the first floor.
Up the decorative stairway this bungalow offers four good bedrooms and a full bath. Such roominess is unusual for the era, but Sargent street boasts a number of these exceptional bungalows and Victorian homes. Throughout the house you’ll find beautiful hardwood floors, Craftsman carpentry details, and ornamental heat registers. Off the Kitchen is an elevated deck situated for sunset enjoyment and another staircase leading to the upstairs. A just-right yard and off-street parking for up to three cars fill out this perfect package. The basement adds lots of functional space, and the laundry area includes a cabinetry and a utility sink. Sargent Street has no through traffic, and a patch of urban forest provides privacy to the rear of the home. And yet just a couple minutes’ walk brings you downtown to the Riverwalk and all the fun shops, pubs, and restaurants that are springing up in this revitalized small town. Downtown Portland is just 15 minutes away; and the airport is half that! Bungalows are rare. Big ones are more rare. And big, beautiful ones within walking distance of downtown? Schedule your showing! No offer will be accepted prior to MONDAY APRIL 4.
