492 Cumberland Ave, Portland, ME 04101

Joe Flynn Real Estate would like to introduce 492 Cumberland Avenue, Portland, one of two private single family historic homes. The adjoined properties built in 1890 were uniquely owned by the same family until 2011 when craftsmen began the painstaking restorations of every facet inside and out. Extreme efforts were taken to preserve the original period features of the home while adding the funcionality and luxury of high end kitchens, bathrooms, and systems. These three level single family homes are truly rare being located in the heart of Portlands most upcoming urban community within walking distance of the wildly popular Old Ports dining and shopping, and beautiful Deering Oaks Park. The first thing people see when entering the grand entrance of the homes are two curved front and rear staircases, original hardwood floors, 10 foot ceilings, and 5 original fireplaces. All rooms are detailed in period crown mouldings, elaborate fireplace mantles, and original custom doors. The space consists of nearly 3000 square feet flowing over 3 full floors with 5 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, and 3 massive first floor formal rooms. Modern amenities include custom designed kitchens, master bathroom with marble floors and 2 person walk-in showers. What makes these properties truly unique is the ability for an urban resident to own a large single family home in the heart of the city while retaining the tranquility of a truly private rear yard with a manicured lawn and stone patio, almost impossible to find. Each home also has private parking for 2 full sized cars on newly paved driveways.
