There's a rhythm to life on the peninsula. Here at 494 Cumberland, that rhythm might begin with picking up coffee and pastries at Tandem around the corner, drift into afternoons spent at the Portland Museum of Art, and carry you into evenings with dinner in Longfellow Square followed by a show at the State Theatre. In between, it's hot summer days at the splash pad in Deering Oaks Park and Saturday mornings wandering the farmers market--simple moments that quietly become part of your routine.
You can find all of that and more living in this historically rich townhome, blending timeless character with thoughtful updates in all the right places. Inside, tall ceilings, original period details, and beautifully preserved wood floors create a sense of warmth and scale that's hard to replicate. The recent kitchen renovation is a true standout--designed with intention, executed with style, and ready to host delicious evenings with friends and family. With 5 bedrooms, and multiple living areas to gather, there's space here to stretch out, settle in, and shape the home around your life. This home also has a remarkably dry, insulated, and highly functional basement--with direct doghouse access to the back patio & garden--currently set up as an art studio and woodworking space, offering rare flexibility for creative pursuits, storage, and more.
Outside, the experience continues. A fully fenced backyard with patio and garden feels like a private retreat tucked right into the city. And in a location where parking is often a challenge, having space for two cars in your own driveway is a quiet luxury you'll appreciate every single day.
Well maintained, beautifully designed, and perfectly located in the heart of the peninsula, this home offers not just a place to live--but a way to live.
