The backyard transitions into the Pine Grove woods where you can pick a summer bounty of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. There are additional trails within walking distance including the Virginia Woods trailhead (.3) leading to the Quarry Run Dog Park & the Oat Nuts trailhead (.8 miles) leading to the Presumpscott River Trail. The house is also within walking distance of bus stops on Allen Ave, as well as Lyman Moore MS and Harrison Lyseth Elementary, and the Northgate Plaza (.9 miles). There is one off-street parking spot provided and plenty of on-street parking in this quiet residential neighborhood. 12 month lease. $2,300 a month + utilities. No smoking.
