Come see 12 Black Sparrow Drive in the premier Stroudwater Preserve neighborhood to experience both the convenience of being minutes from downtown Portland and the advantage of being near woods and walking trails. Located on a quiet side street of the Stroudwater neighborhood, this home has the benefits of an association that handles all outdoor tasks such as lawn care and snow removal without any pesky condo rules. The just over 2,000 square feet of living space are thoughtfully designed for modern living and flexible use. First floor living is a feature of this home with its open kitchen, dining, living area- perfect for entertaining!- and a spacious primary suite with cathedral ceilings, walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. The laundry area is also on the first floor. Outdoor living is another welcome feature with the sunny front porch and the three season screened 180 sqft back porch with space for both dining and lounging. The second floor has two more bedrooms, a full bathroom and then another bonus room ready to serve as a home office, media room, or gym. The lower level, currently unfinished, offers space for storage, or more living space. And with its windows and walk out access it could easily be a workshop area or place to stow kayaks and ski equipment to enjoy all Maine seasons. The Stroudwater neighborhood is connecting to the Portland trail system that will give even more opportunities for peaceful morning walks and a way to unwind after a long day.
