Located in the heart of Portland's West End, this charming and rare 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath single family home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Built in 1870 and offering just over 2,000 sq ft of finished living space, the home features sun-filled rooms, hardwood and tile floors, and a well-designed layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The eat-in kitchen opens to a dining area and large living room with a wood stove, while the second floor hosts four bedrooms including a primary suite with full bath, soaking tub, and separate shower.

Additional upgrades include a new wood stove, blown-in insulation throughout the second floor and attic, refinished stair treads, and new vent fans in the upstairs baths. The landscaped garden features hydrangea, honeysuckle, blueberry bushes, lilac shrubs, coneflowers, and a dwarf Japanese pine, creating a sweet little in-town mini garden oasis.
