About This Home

As of August 2025

Set on one of the most desirable lots in Portland's sought-after Deering Highlands, this gracious c.1880 Victorian offers timeless charm, thoughtful updates, and room to grow. Surrounded by beautiful homes on quiet, walkable streets, you're just a short stroll to Back Cove, Rosemont, Deering Center, the University of Southern Maine, and even the Portland peninsula. It's a rare opportunity to enjoy peace and privacy while staying close to everything.

Inside, nearly 3,300 square feet of light-filled space blends original architectural detail with modern renovations. The welcoming front porch opens to a grand double living room with bay windows, fireplaces, a half bath, and abundant natural light. The fully redesigned kitchen is stylish and functional, and the cozy den just off the kitchen—with its own fireplace and access to the rear stairwell—is the room you'll live in and love.

Upstairs, the second level offers spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry. The third floor is a showstopper: converted attic space now serves as a great room and office, with access to a hidden rooftop deck offering peekaboo views of the East End and Portland Observatory.

The large, level yard—ringed by mature hedges and trees—is a rare find. Whether you dream of a garden oasis, carriage house, or future ADU, this oversized corner lot offers uncommon potential in a tightly held neighborhood.

Additional highlights: 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, attached 1-car garage, two staircases, second-floor laundry, updated systems, and room to personalize or expand.
