Overview
Tucked into a serene, estate-like setting, this Tudor-influenced Cape Cod Revival offers exceptional privacy, beautifully curated outdoor living, and a warm, inviting atmosphere ideal for bringing friends and family together. Built in 1936 and meticulously maintained, the home features three levels of gracious living with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, thick sound-dampening walls, built-ins, and abundant natural light from the picture windows. The living room’s corner windows and marble-surround gas fireplace create an elegant gathering space, while the light-filled office overlooking the backyard is perfect for working from home. The formal dining room features large picture windows and classic coved ceilings, and the updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a quiet breakfast nook. The exquisite primary suite offers a large walk-in shower and generous closet space, and the finished basement adds flexible living with excellent light. Outside, the property shines with multiple magical outdoor spaces including basalt terraces, stone fireplaces and grills, terraced gardens, two wood decks, a large greenhouse, and a pergola-covered front porch. Nestled among mature trees in close-in Southwest Portland, this home blends vintage charm, modern updates, and extraordinary outdoor living in a truly rare offering. [Home Energy Score = 1.
