Description
Perfectly positioned on one of Portland's most desirable streets, this exceptional John Calvin Stevens-designed row house offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Maine architectural history in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods. 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
