Welcome to The House of the Scarlet Gables, an extraordinary blend of timeless European elegance and contemporary luxury nestled on one of Irvington’s most tranquil, tree-lined streets. Originally built in 1920 and meticulously reimagined in 2025 by McCulloch Construction, this distinguished colonial residence spans over 6,300 sq ft of beautifully curated living space, including separate guest quarters above the garage with a kitchenette and full bathroom, all set on a prized .24-acre corner lot graced by a majestic heritage tree. From the moment you arrive, refined craftsmanship and storybook charm set the tone. New artisan stone and brick walls, lush hedging, ironwork, white fencing with garden gates, an inviting gazebo, riotous gardens, and an outdoor fireplace create the feel of a private English country estate—right in the heart of one of Portland’s most walkable and family-friendly neighborhoods. Sunlight bathes four levels of living space through skylights and expansive windows, illuminating 6 bedrooms, 6.1 baths, and 14 rooms adorned with intricate artisanal tile and woodwork. Highlights include a stunning chef’s kitchen, multiple elegant entertaining spaces, and an opulent primary suite with dual baths, fireplace, walk-in dressing room, and a private balcony. Gracious hallways, mirrored entries, 15 dazzling chandeliers (including a unique double chandelier), six sets of French doors, and high ceilings elevate every corner of this home. Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated throughout, offering spaces perfect for work, play, and everyday living. This is more than a house—it’s a legacy home ready to welcome the next chapter of luxury living in Portland’s historic Irvington neighborhood. [Home Energy Score = 1.
