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.
