277 Woodford ST Portland, ME 04103

Welcome to a property that not only retains its historic charm, but is also fully updated for all of today's modern needs. Built at the turn of the 20th century for the president of the American Can Company this is a grand home with unique and remarkable features. From pan ceilings in the dining room to breathtaking stained glass and a one-of-a-kind mantel in the formal living room to a stunning grand stairwell you are surrounded by history. That said this is not a stuff or dated historic home. Far from it. Enjoy all the characters but rest easy knowing that all major systems from roof, heating, hot water, insulation and even the waste water line to the city main have been updated. Ok, so now to the fun stuff...., the 3rd level was fully reimagined to create one of the most inviting, luxurious and a bit playful primary suites we have ever seen. The second level offers 3 generous bedrooms, dedicated laundry and an updated full bath. The main level has a formal living and dining, casual sitting room and an updated and chef inspired kitchen. The current/former two-car garage has been converted into a workout, hangout, chillout area but could easily be converted back. Above the garage is one of the home's most unique features - an elevated deck and entertaining area. This remarkably private and expansive retreat is perfect for an evening glass of wine or an early morning cup of coffee. Located in the desirable tree-lined Woodford's Corner neighborhood. This location is a short walk to Deering Center or lace up those running shoes for a jog around Back Cove, Baxter Woods and Evergreen Cemetery/Park. Groceries, galleries, shops, cafes and restaurants in and around the neighborhood. Welcome to the perfect blend of close but not too close, of historic yet modern, of formal and casual to your best life in this wonderful city...
