26 Pya Rd, Portland, ME 04103

This house is the perfect set-up for a traveling professor or doctor, or a family needing to relocate temporarily while renovating or house-searching. Ideal lease situation would be 9 (NINE) months - going 10/1/2025 - 7/1/2026 -- But this timeframe is negotiable! I would consider a 6-12 month and even an ongoing, long-term rental situation. This is a charming, fully-furnished/well-appointed home in beautiful, safe, walkable and quiet neighborhood. Just steps away from the Back Cove walking trail and Canco Woods. Also walking distance to several schools (Cheverus, Ocean Ave Elem. UMaine Law School, UNE) and restaurants (Woodfords F&B, Bird & Co, Monte's, Tipo) - and only a short drive into Portland's Old Port area. Large fenced-in yard with comfortable patio set-up and seasonal gardens. Great for entertaining. Utilities INCLUDED and PETS CONSIDERED! Enjoy all the comforts of home in your very own non-owner occupied, single-family house/yard. Ideal lease situation would be 9 (NINE) months - going 10/1/2025 - 7/1/2026 -- But this timeframe is negotiable! I would be open to various rental situations, including 6-12 months and even ongoing, long-term. Utilities: Heat (oil), water, electricity, wi-fi, house cleaning (2x/month) are INCLUDED up to $1,000/month. If you go over this number, you will be charged for overages and the cleaning service will be subject to termination if not reasonably respected. Owner does NOT pay snow removal or lawn/garden care. Tenant can clear snow or hire someone (note: I have a lawn/garden care person who charges $25/hour if you wish to hire her & I can provide a contact for snow removal). Cleaning person comes every other week and is included UNLESS the service is abused. If it is, owner reserves the right to cancel cleaners without any discount of rent. Pets are considered, with references and deposit. Must be animal(s) that my home owners insurance will approve. There are several areas for storage (part of basement and garage, multiple closets), but owner is using 1/2 of basement for storage and the garage houses tools, lawnmower, etc. so cannot fit a vehicle, but could fit some boxes, etc. There are 2 off-street parking spots in the driveway, plus the road has plenty of free, safe parking 24/7 unless a snow storm. Please DO NOT use the fireplace - it is not safe. This is a NON-SMOKING property.
