315 Spring Street, Portland, ME 04102 (MLS# 1517852)

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 1/30 12-2PM. The exterior of 315 Spring Street is much as it appeared at the turn of the 19th century, yet upon entry you are greeted with a seamless blend of adaptations over time. Many parts of this home are elegant, gracious, formal, and preserved, while other parts are approachable, inviting, rustic and transformed. These elements come together in a home that is warm, welcoming and, as Goldilocks said, 'just right.' Current and immediately prior owners honored and preserved the past while updating and improving just about everything. The end result is a historic home that offers near stress-free enjoyment. The 3,000sf of finished area is both generous and manageable. With 5 bedrooms, there is plenty of room for family, friends, or multiple work-from-any arrangements. The upper level offers 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The 2nd floor is anchored by an impressive primary suite with ample closet space, dressing room and spacious bath, and completed with an additional bedroom/office, full bath, and laundry. The parlor level is part history and part modernity from the formal entry, rounded stairwell, living and dining rooms, to the updated kitchen and family room. Outside is the perfectly-sized in-town lot — you will spend your weekends enjoying a cozy fire pit and welcoming neighbors, not mowing the lawn. The neighborhood is everything you can dream of. 315 is one block from the prestigious private EC-12 Waynflete School, just a few blocks from Howard C. Reiche Elementary School, one mile from King Middle School and Portland High School, and a short distance from a host of parks, playgrounds, bars, breweries, grocers and gastronomic delights.
