A recent job relocation brings this beautifully updated, move-in ready home to market - a rare opportunity in one of Forest Heights' most beloved neighborhoods. Welcome to The Gables, where tree-lined streets and a genuine sense of community set the stage for this charming Cape Cod-style home. A welcoming front porch leads into a light-filled, open-concept main level featuring a family room with fireplace and custom built-ins, an updated kitchen with premium appliances (Bertazzoni range, Vent-A-Hood, Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher), and an inviting dining nook. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite bath and walk-in closet. A powder room and laundry round out the main floor, putting single-level living entirely within reach. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer flexible space for family, guests, or a home office. Outside, a private deck and landscaped patio are perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings. Tucked beneath the deck, a bonus storage room is ideal for outdoor gear and extra belongings, while the attached garage offers ample space beyond parking. Miles of neighborhood trails and parks sit practically at your door. You're minutes from Forest Heights Village Center, with local favorites like Pizzicato and Spielman Bagels and Coffee, plus easy access to the Hi-Tech Corridor, St. Vincent Hospital, downtown Portland, and schools - Forest Park Elementary, West Sylvan Middle, and Lincoln High. Recent improvements include a Presidential 50-year roof (2021), HVAC, and water heater (2024). With timeless style, thoughtful updates, and an unbeatable location, you won't want to miss this one.
