Downtown Elegance Meets Everyday Convenience.
Experience the perfect balance of luxury, location, and lifestyle in this remodeled historic home in the heart of downtown Portland. Just minutes from Maine Medical Center, the Portland Museum of Art, the State Theatre, and an incredible variety of restaurants and cafés, this property is an ideal opportunity for medical professionals or anyone looking to live surrounded by the best the city has to offer.
The interior has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated, offering a turn-key experience with upscale finishes throughout. Hardwood flooring flows seamlessly from room to room, anchoring a sophisticated palette of custom features. The kitchen has been enhanced with bespoke shelving, and custom closets have been added throughout the home—including a luxe walk-in closet in the primary suite—providing both beauty and practicality.
Two flexible office or bonus spaces, one on each level, offer dedicated areas for working from home, studying, or simply relaxing in peace. Custom blackout shades in the bedroom and tailored window treatments throughout the home enhance comfort and privacy.
Outside, the upgraded front entrance makes a stunning first impression, while the closed in city yard with an expanded deck, refreshed garden, and stone patio create a peaceful outdoor escape.
Whether you're commuting to the hospital, enjoying a show, or walking to dinner downtown, this fully reimagined home is the perfect base for elevated city living. A rare blend of thoughtful renovation and unbeatable location—you truly have to step inside to appreciate it.
