About This Home

12 Grandview Avenue's size may read modestly on paper, but step inside this adorable ranch and something shifts. The layout is smart, and the light moves through the rooms in a way that makes the space feel generous yet still cozy. The charm is the kind that comes from good bones and careful stewardship. Original character details give the home warmth, while thoughtful updates keep it firmly in the present. Chief among them: a brand new high-efficiency boiler installed in 2025, complete with all new radiators and piping. It's the kind of infrastructure upgrade that may not make for exciting photos but will make for a very happy first winter. Out through the sliding glass doors, the property opens onto a large deck that extends off the rear of the home, overlooking a private, enclosed backyard. Whether you're hosting a summer dinner, drinking your morning coffee, or working remotely, this outdoor space punches well above the home's footprint, greatly increasing your living space during the warmer months. Tucked away on a quiet residential street, the home offers relaxing neighborhood calm, while remaining just minutes from the shops, restaurants, and waterfront amenities that make South Portland one of the most desirable communities in the state. This is a home for someone who values quality over quantity, character over cookie-cutter, and a low-maintenance lifestyle without sacrificing comfort. Come see for yourself what makes this one so special!
