Introducing One of One — a home as rare as its name implies. Positioned on a prominent corner in Portland's historic West End, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence spans approximately 2,100 square feet and offers a seamless blend of timeless architecture and elevated modern living. A private one-car garage adds to its distinct value — a coveted amenity in one of the city's most walkable and architecturally rich neighborhoods. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully curated and professionally renovated. The chef's kitchen, featured in Décor Maine magazine, includes a striking walnut island, custom cabinetry, quartzite countertops, Bertazzoni appliances, and a walk-in pantry with access to the back porch. The reimagined floor plan enhances natural light and flow throughout the main living areas. Upstairs, the primary suite evokes a boutique hotel experience, with a spa-inspired bathroom featuring marble counters, a walnut vanity, a soaking tub, and handcrafted tile. A renovated guest bath and second-floor laundry add to the home's modern comforts. Significant upgrades include a full electrical and plumbing overhaul, new heat pumps, restored original windows, updated exterior doors, professional landscaping, hardscaping, and a basement encapsulation system. Just blocks from the Western Promenade, cafés, and the Portland Museum of Art, One of One is more than a home — it's a statement. A rare blend of history, design, and lifestyle in the heart of the West End.
OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY 7/31 11-12:30. At the corner of Carleton St & Brackett St, right in the heart of Portland's Historic West End, sits a remarkable Victorian home with the maintained charm a character from its original construction in 1874, but with modern amenities for today's homeowner. Outside, the home features a large bay window which faces spectacular cherry tree which blooms in May. Around the corner, on the Brackett side of the home, find an extremely rare 1-Car attached garage with additional off street parking. Enter through the home's double doors with frosted and etched glass window panes, and find yourself stepping back in time, from the beautiful moldings and hardwood floors throughout the home, and the carved mantle in the den with a fireplace surround covered in decorative tiles depicting Aesop's Fables, this home is just dripping with historic details. A built in bookcase in the den and a built in china cabinet in the dining room are original to the home. Moving through the lower level, find a gas range in the kitchen along with a large farm house sink, and a full bathroom to complete the first floor. Upstairs you will find sun soaked and spacious bedrooms with plenty of storage as well as a second full sized bathroom complete with vintage tub. A large attic space on top for even more storage and laundry in the basement for your convenience, this home has it all. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 fireplace, a garage, and close to restaurants, markets, medical facilities, schools, playgrounds, and so much more. Welcome home.
