Beautiful and bright New Englander in great South Portland location. 42 Carter Street has been tastefully and lovingly updated over the years and is ready for its next owner. From the inviting front porch enter through the beautiful, wood door and you are immediately struck by the period charm of the woodwork and columns in the foyer. The sunny living room has original stained glass and plenty of room for friends and family to gather. Although the home is over 100 years old the open concept layout from the dining room to the kitchen is perfect for gatherings of all sizes. An updated kitchen is always on the list of ''wants'' and this home delivers. The modern, but also timeless, kitchen has white cabinets, butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances and floating shelves. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom with new penny round tile and a new vanity. Unlock the potential of a spacious unfinished walk-up attic, offering a blank canvas for your creative vision. The open space allows for versatile design options, catering to your specific needs—think home office, playroom, guest suite, or a stunning primary retreat. In the meantime, there is a finished space in the basement that can be used in a myriad of different ways. One of the greatest highlights of the house is the backyard. Coming in and out from the yard during all seasons was made much more enjoyable by the large mudroom, with a half bath and wood stove. The oversized lot provides a perfect place to unwind after a days work. With beautiful hardscaping and mature plantings you'll never want to leave. 42 Carter is truly move in and ready and will make the stressful task of moving a joy!
