Description
Rare opportunity to own one of Portland's finest historic John Calvin Stevens homes, Circa 1902. The Horace F. Farnham house has been lovingly preserved with intricate details from 4 fireplaces, 2 of which are terracotta, intricate parquet flooring, amber oak wainscoting, birds-eye and tiger maple woodwork throughout, to the stained glass windows and original fixtures. With over 6000sf of wondrous space this home offers a breathtaking open great room which lets in warm natural sunlight from Sunrise to Sunset. It is fabulous for entertaining yet cozy when not. The two front parlors are perfect for a home office and library/conference room with separate entrance off Brighton Ave and access to a half bath which can be closed off from the main home. Updates include a custom Kennebec Kitchen, new marble tiled bathroom off the primary bedroom, two natural gas fired furnaces, slate roof restoration, chimney repointing, Bradbury and Bradbury art wallpaper and formal landscaping. Converted to a two family in 1998, it was completed with historic integrity of the structure in mind which, if desired, could easily be used as a single family again (see MLS #1558661). Some furnishings included. Broker owned and occupied Unit 1.
