About this home
Located in the heart of Portland's West End, this charming and rare 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath single family home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1870 and offering just over 2,000 sq ft of finished living space, the home features sun-filled rooms, hardwood and tile floors, and a well-designed layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The eat-in kitchen opens to a dining area and large living room with a wood stove, while the second floor hosts four bedrooms including a primary suite with full bath, soaking tub, and separate shower. A full, unfinished basement provides excellent storage, and a covered outdoor seating or parking area adds a welcoming extension of the living space. Off-street parking for 3-4 cars is a rare bonus in this sought-after intown location.
Extensive recent improvements enhance both comfort & efficiency. Updates include new kitchen appliances in 2026, a renovated upstairs bathroom floor and toilet in 2025, replacement of nearly all windows with new exterior trim in 2025, a new asphalt driveway in 2023, a new kitchen tile floor in 2023, and oak hardwood flooring installed on the first floor in 2022. Additional upgrades include a new wood stove, blown-in insulation throughout the second floor and attic, refinished stair treads, and new vent fans in the upstairs baths. The landscaped garden features hydrangea, honeysuckle, blueberry bushes, lilac shrubs, coneflowers, and a dwarf Japanese pine, creating a sweet little in-town mini garden oasis.
Perfectly positioned on the peninsula within Portland's coveted West End, this home offers easy access to downtown, neighborhood cafés and more while maintaining the charm and historic appeal that make this district so desirable. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated single-family residence in one of the city's most established and walkable neighborhoods.
