Just steps from the Western Promenade, Reiche and Waynflete schools, boutiques, shops, acclaimed restaurants, and downtown Portland, this location has remained sought-after for generations--and for good reason. From the moment you step onto the inviting front porch, you are immediately drawn into a home that feels timeless, warm, and quietly elegant. Inside, beautifully preserved historic details blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates, creating a residence that is as livable as it is architecturally significant. Rich hardwood floors, ornate fireplaces, original built-ins, retained historic windows, elegant millwork, and period craftsmanship throughout speak to the home's remarkable heritage, while comprehensive upgrades provide the comfort and efficiency expected today. Offering 5-6 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and just over 3,500 square feet, the home has been carefully stewarded over time, honoring its past while embracing modern living. A chef-inspired kitchen, updated baths, modern gas fireplaces and inserts, a highly efficient heating system, and extensive interior and exterior improvements provide years of worry-free enjoyment. Beyond the gracious living spaces, a private rear patio offers a peaceful retreat rarely found in the city--perfectly balancing vibrant urban living with quiet moments at home. This is understated elegance at its best: a home filled with character, history, warmth, and authenticity. Rarely does a property so successfully combine architectural pedigree, preserved charm, modern comfort, and one of Portland's most desirable locations. This is truly a special opportunity not to be missed. See property address website 38 Neal
