A historic home for modern-day living. This classic brick structure with gorgeous detail throughout is the epitome of a West End Portland property. The home was built between 1886 and 1898 for Albert Isaac Randall, a Civil War veteran and coal dealer. The property remained in the Randall family until 1939 when it changed hands for the first time. Today, the 2800 square feet of living space in this 3-4 bedroom and 3.5 bathroom home offer coveted room to breathe while enjoying the benefits of living on the Portland peninsula. The current owners have done an incredible job giving this home the contemporary care it deserves while maintaining the charm and elegance it was built with. The kitchen, a focal point of the home, offers Bertazzoni appliances: 5-burner 36'' dual fuel range, French door refrigerator, and dishwasher. Custom cabinets, seamlessly fitted by Crystal Cabinetry, are complimented by honed Carrera marble countertops and a Cle glazed brick stacked backsplash. From sanding and refinishing the wide plank pine floors, to repainting each room and adding feature wallpaper in carefully chosen areas, to updating lighting and adding a wireless security system. Each renovation has been thoughtfully planned and skillfully executed. Outdoors a large, private courtyard adds an exciting addition to this urban oasis.
