36 Spring Street, Portland, CT 06480

This well-maintained mid-century Cape charmer is deceptively spacious, offering great flexibility and beautiful natural light. There are 4 BRs and 3 full baths within its 2,016 sq ft. If one floor living is a priority, the primary en suite bedroom and a 2nd bedroom (or use as home office) are pleasantly situated on the main level, along with kitchen, DR, and LR featuring oak floors with wood burning fireplace (or convert with an insert). The laundry area lives in its own nook along the main hallway. The smart layout flows well with a large kitchen that opens to an equally spacious DR with the LR conveniently adjacent. Designed for privacy, the 2 BRs on 2nd floor are distanced from each other but share a full bath. From the heated breezeway with its retro pine paneling, slip through the slider and jumpstart the weekend from your enormous deck with awning, crafted from Brazilian hardwood (Ipe) and relax in your peaceful level yard on a half acre. There's a putting green for fun, and a shed to stow your gear. Above the heated garage is a woodworker's dream complete with drill press, band saw, and hand tools.
