Sophisticated and inviting, this meticulously restored 1908 farmhouse sits quietly on a prominent fenced-in corner lot minutes from downtown Portland. Sunlight moves across hardwood floors, drawing attention to soaring tin ceilings and original built-ins that speak to the home's heritage. Classic details remind you of the home's past, but this… Read More historic relic has been thoughtfully revived with modern updates—Fantasy marble counters, contemporary lighting, refreshed baths, added closet space, and a flexible upstairs layout. A dramatic wrap-around front porch creates a natural invitation to linger with morning coffee or evening conversation, while expansive rooms inside lend themselves to gatherings both lively and memorable. The dining space, anchored by a striking glass-front hutch and elegant millwork, leads naturally to a living area ready for every season. The exterior spaces have benefited from current stewardship. For privacy and outdoor enjoyment, the yard has been enclosed by a 220-foot cedar fence—a recent addition—and a beautiful bluestone patio trimmed in granite. The driveway, newly widened and freshly paved, offers practical convenience alongside the grandeur. Both the main house and the detached garage feature newer roofs. In the basement, you'll find a wall-hung boiler converted to run the stunning and refinished antique efficient cast-iron radiators throughout the home. This residence is truly move-in ready, offering a seamless transition for its new owners, yet the upper attic level remains an expansive opportunity—ready to be finished or reimagined to fit their needs. Located under five miles from the vibrant energy of downtown, this property offers easy access to Portland. Yet, it's the local markets, nearby playground down a hidden path, and tree-lined streets that truly root daily life in a sense of community. At 1 Farnham, character and modernity coexist, making this property—as rare as it is refined—what dreams are made of. Read Less
