About this property

Stylish & Spacious Townhouse w/Garden, Family-friendly, walk to downtown!

Our light-filled three story home is perched on a lovely, quiet corner of the historic West End residential neighborhood and is walking distance to all of Portland's finest. One of the rare properties right in town with a spacious back deck for meals al fresco, and a backyard big enough for kids to enjoy, the house is very well-appointed and roomy, perfect for families or a few friends traveling together. Three bedrooms (king, queen + twin, twin) and master bath on the third floor, and one bedroom (queen) and full bath on the second floor. It's a great hub from which to explore both the vibrant city life nearby, as well as all the natural glories of Southern Maine. Whether you want to plunge into Portland's world class culinary scene, catch the current show at The Portland Museum of Art, attend the latest event at Space Gallery, take the ferry to Peaks Island, picnic at Kettle Cove, bird watch at the Audubon, or hit the outlets in Freeport and Kittery, you'll find our home a comfortable home base to return to. We are willing to reduce our rate for stays of a month or longer.

Long weekend visit to Portland
Lovely townhome in West End, short, 10 minute walk to Tandem Bakery and on to downtown Portland. Location is excellent, on lovely street near impressive Victorian homes. This is a great area of Portland to stay in.

Inviting space, indoors and out
This historic home was a crowd-pleaser for my family of 5. There was plenty of space for privacy, it was gorgeously and thoughtfully decorated (lots of design inspiration acquired!), and the best part was the deck equipped with a grill, comfortable sofas, and an umbrella. It was fun to pick tomatoes from the vegetable garden with my 2-year old, and the flowers were lovely. The master bath design and wallpaper were just how I’d like to design a bath. It was fun having a new library of children’s books for a week too. The space was perfect for relaxing at home, and a short walk from all Portland has to offer. The hosts were warm and communicative and I would happily stay here again given the chance.

Wonderful house, great hosts
This beautiful house was home for our family (my husband and me; daughter, son-in-law, and two small children; and son) for a week. We had plenty of room and were very comfortable. Lovely garden out back, with bonus fresh vegetables and flowers! Walking distance to food shopping and a great coffee shop, as well as a weekly (Saturday) farmer's market. Only 15 minutes from the airport. Hosts were quick to respond to questions and easy to work with, and accommodated two changes we made with no problem.

Portland Getaway
This West End house helped create an amazing vacation in Portland. The house is very well appointed and it immediately felt like home. My sons and I really enjoyed the stay and will definitely return if we get the opportunity.

Why they chose this property

The West End is the last truly residential neighborhood in the Portland Peninsula and with its beautiful, wide tree-lined streets adorned with remarkable historic buildings and lovely gardens, it seemed like the perfect place to live and play with our daughter, while still being plugged into the vibrant life and amazing restaurants of Portland's downtown. What we love about this home is how it is flooded with light at any time of day, has all the charm and details of an antique home but all the comforts of a modern one.
