Nestled in the leafy elegance of Portland's historic Deering Highlands, this enchanting Victorian residence, circa 1890, is a living canvas of artistry and thoughtful design. Lovingly updated and transformed by its current owners—the home earned its moment in the spotlight with a thoughtful feature in Maine Home+Design, showcasing a renovation that blends historic integrity with contemporary flair. Perched atop a hill with the long side of the house facing south, sunlight streams in all day giving the home a warm and cheerful glow even on a cloudy day. Step inside, and you're greeted by the timeless grandeur of original details—hardwood floors, tiled accents, built-in cabinetry, and a cozy gas fireplace—all curated to highlight the house's story while embracing updated comforts. The sophisticated, open kitchen—with its refined millwork, touches of marble and top of the line Thermador appliances—serves as the heart of the home. Outside, the residence surprises with a lush garden patio, creating a tranquil courtyard retreat that's as inviting as it is unexpected. Whether you're drawn to the soaring lines and original details of Victorian architecture, the thoughtful modern upgrades, or the creative energy that permeates every room—this property promises to captivate.
