Some homes simply feel like they have been part of the neighborhood forever — and 97 Simmons Road is one of them. Set on a generous .38-acre lot in South Portland, this classic late 1950s home offers the kind of location, setting, and possibility that invites imagination from the moment you arrive. Public bus stop at the corner of Simmons and Ocean for convenience. For decades, this home has served its purpose well: a comfortable place to gather, settle in, and enjoy the rhythm of a beloved South Portland neighborhood. Now, it is ready for its next chapter. With two bedrooms plus a first-floor den, a full bath on the main level, a half bath on the lower level, and additional potential to use upstairs as a bedroom, play room, bonus room or more, the floor plan offers flexibility for today's buyers while preserving the character and simplicity of its era. Inside, you'll find warm wood floors, charming original details, a fireplace, and spaces that feel full of promise. From the moment you step inside, you'll begin to imagine how the home would look with some cosmetic updates, and that is exactly where the opportunity lies - a chance to bring fresh vision, personal style, and modern comfort to a well-built home in a location worth investing in. Outside, the spacious lot offers room to garden, gather, play, or simply enjoy the seasons. From crisp autumn leaves to summer evenings in the yard, this is the kind of setting that helps a house become a home - and backing up to the park isn't just convenient for enjoying the best of South Portland, but ensures privacy for years to come. 97 Simmons Road is not trying to be brand new. It is something better: a well-loved South Portland classic with good bones, a generous setting, and the rare chance to create the next generation of memories in a neighborhood people love to come home to.
