Property Description
Nestled on a tranquil city street, adorned with a timeless carriage stone at its threshold and framed by classic six-over-six windows, this West End residence epitomizes understated elegance. Its enduring charm is evident upon stepping onto the painted, wide-plank floors, gleaming with the patina of age. Ivory walls harmonize effortlessly with muted historic hues of the paneled woodwork. The architectural marvels of one of Portland's oldest stick built residences, and a rare survivor of the fire of 1866, this dwelling stands as a testament to resilience and craftsmanship. Constructed in 1800 by Thomas Delano, a notable blacksmith from Cape Elizabeth, the home boasts iconic Georgian symmetrical design, showcasing a central doorway flanked by balanced windows. Wide board wainscotting and a meticulously carved cornice molding grace the entrance hall. Spanning 3800 square feet, the main house encompasses four bedrooms and two and a half baths, with potential for expansion on the third floor. A separate one-bedroom apartment, complete with a full bath, living room, and kitchen, offers a legal rental opportunity recognized by the city of Portland. A coveted two-car garage and additional off-street parking ensure convenience, while a charming flagstone and slate patio with rock wall creates a serene and private city garden oasis. Sunlight streams through spacious rooms, illuminating every corner of this remarkable abode. A discreetly housed wine cellar resides in the basement, nestled within the graceful curves of the central fireplace's foundation. For the health-conscious homeowner, a personal gym awaits, fully equipped with conveyable exercise equipment. This truly special piece of Portland history offers a harmonious blend of historic grandeur, modern convenience, and serene urban living. Walkable to all that Portland has to offer including it's exquisite dining, vibrant cultural scene and charming waterfront shops, this property won't last long!
