    What's special

    Historic ''Andrew S. Sawyer'' Victorian Gothic Revival Masterpiece at the top of Meetinghouse Hill in South Portland. Step into a rare piece of Maine history with this architecturally significant community centerpiece. Built in 1850 by renowned businessman & community leader Andrew S. Sawyer, who purchased 9 acres originally & started one of Maine's 1st community market gardens. This distinguished residence blends timeless elegance with the comforts of modern living. Rich in character & craftsmanship, the home showcases a slate roof, cathedral windows & high ceilings, gorgeous maple & pine floors, custom trim & fixtures, curved walls, 4 or 5 bedrooms & tons of natural light. Thoughtful updates include the beautifully updated bathrooms, walk in closet, a modern kitchen w/ Italian gas range & functional pantry, updated & efficient heating system & on-demand generator, fresh paint in and out with restored siding & plaster. The recent home addition adds a 2-bay garage with finished space above consisting of a large bedroom, full bathroom, open room with vaulted ceiling, plumbed for a kitchen & accessed via the garage or its exclusive side entrance. This space is perfect for a home office, multi-generational living, an accessory dwelling unit or Airbnb (with town approval). Set on a meticulously landscaped lot, including a Three-Axis Trident Garden as a centerpiece full of rose bushes with other manicured gardens, 8 flowering trees, small greenhouse, large back deck, hot tub & all fully fenced. The outdoor space is perfect for pets, play or entertaining. Perched in the prime location, the home is a short walk to Willard Beach & Square, an array of beloved local restaurants & shops, Bug Light, MillCreek park & Fort Williams/Portland Head Light or an 8 minute drive to Portland's Old Port district- offering the perfect balance of coastal lifestyle, neighborhood charm and Victorian architecture. This is a legacy property - where history, beauty & livability come together.
