48 Hammond Street, Portland, ME 04101 (MLS # 1637734)

This 1980s ranch is a rare gem in downtown Portland practically as hard to find as a working VHS player. What it lacks in 'historic charm' it makes up for in pure-house simplicity:Offering single-level simplicity, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a bright living room, and a functional kitchen. Bonus perks include a private backyard, driveway, storage shed, and a spacious, high-ceiling basement just waiting for your ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off''-style hangout makeover. Move right in or bring your design ideas. This home is perfectly positioned between the vibrant Washington Avenue food scene and Anderson Street's creative hotspots. Hammond Street itself is a quiet, tucked-away spot on the hill, often called one of Portland's best-kept secrets.
