Property Description
Perched in one of Portland's most coveted locations overlooking the Western Promenade, this extraordinary residence combines an irreplaceable setting with over fifteen years of thoughtful renovation and restoration. The result is a seamless blend of historic character and modern comfort, creating a home that honors its past while meeting the needs of contemporary living.
Imagine ending your day on the porch, overlooking the park and enjoying spectacular sunsets. Open the windows and doors and allow the ocean breezes to flow throughout the home. There is a feeling here that is difficult to describe and impossible to replicate--a sense of history, craftsmanship, and place that makes this property truly exceptional.
Designed to be both grand and comfortable, the versatile floor plan offers spaces that can evolve to fit your lifestyle. The home features five bedrooms with A/C, four and a half baths, a stately library or office, formal living and dining rooms, a chef's kitchen, and a butler's pantry. Every room is enriched by extraordinary architectural details, including black walnut and quarter-sawn oak woodwork, crystal chandeliers, wainscoting, bay windows, hand-painted murals, leaded glass cabinetry, and stunning stained-glass windows. These remarkable materials and finishes were crafted by artisans whose work has stood the test of time.
A private entrance and guest quarters on the third floor provide additional flexibility for extended family, guests, or creative living arrangements. Outside, lush gardens, gracious entrances, inviting porches, and seven off-street parking spaces further enhance the property's appeal--an uncommon luxury in this historic neighborhood.
