    What's special

    Located in Portland's coveted West End neighborhood, this exquisite 1899 home, designed by renowned architect John Calvin Stevens for philanthropists Edward and Mary Staples, seamlessly blends historic charm with modern convenience. Beyond its timeless elegance, the property offers valuable amenities, including a third-floor rental apartment, which can easily be incorporated into the main house as a large single family, and private parking. Step inside to discover stunning original details, from a breathtaking two-story stained-glass window in the stairwell to cozy decorative bedroom fireplaces, elegant pocket doors, and gleaming old-growth hardwood floors. Thoughtful renovations enhance these classic features with custom light fixtures, an inviting front porch, and versatile outdoor space. Natural light fills every corner, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Designed for entertaining, the updated chef's kitchen boasts an expansive island for casual meals or meal prep, while the adjacent formal dining room is perfect for hosting larger gatherings. The spacious living room offers ample space for relaxation and socializing. On the main floor, a bonus room with built-in cabinetry serves as an ideal office. The third-floor three-bedroom, one-bath apartment not only provides incredible views but also serves as a valuable income-generating asset. Meanwhile, the full basement offers versatile space for a home gym, weatherproof storage, or additional guest accommodations. Nestled in one of Portland's most desirable and tranquil West End neighborhoods, you can see the beautiful Waynflete school from the Living Room. This exceptional home is just minutes from parks, farmers markets, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, Maine Medical Hospital and downtown. Open House - June 7th 10am-11:30am.
