At the foot of Portland's desirable Deering Highlands, this historic gem offers comprehensive updates and upgrades along with remarkable retained period details. From hardwood floors and high ceilings to historic fixtures, built-ins, fireplace, moldings and more this is the historic home of your dreams. At a right sized 1,883 sf with formal living and dining area, heated sun-porch, high-end kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a 3rd level that is poised for expansion - the layout is ideal. Although there are many highlights, the chef-inspired custom kitchen is a show stopper. Enjoy peace of mind with a new uber efficient natural gas heating system, a state-of-the-art complete waterproof system in the basement with dehumidifier (lifetime transferable warranty), replacement windows, updated siding, roof and more. Outside, there is a rare 1 car garage and a remarkably private quiet patio and yard.
