Welcome to 25 Falmouth Street, a home you will not soon forget. Built in 1918 to the highest standard and brought back to life by it's current owner, you will be swept away by its historic charm and period details. The residence boasts timeless Victorian elegance with 9 ft ceilings, original wood floors and wood work, Corinthian columns, butler's pantries, built in China cabinets, and a striking staircase transporting you back in time. While preserving it's charm, substantial updates have been made including smart, modern and energy efficient heat pumps, on-demand natural gas water heater, and insultation done to Efficiency Maine's recommendations, all of which keep energy costs remarkably low for a building of this grandeur. Originally built as a stately 2-family residence and left unaltered, both units have private entrances, a private porch, separate kitchen, dining, living, and office/picture rooms in addition to 3 or 4 bedrooms, making it challenging to choose a true Owner's unit, but presenting a fantastic opportunity for a condo conversion. Situated on a generous 10,000 sq ft lot, the property includes a large fenced-in yard and a 2-car garage with potential for conversion into a third unit or accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Ample off-street parking is also available for 6 or more vehicles. Located in arguably the most central and convenient location in all of Portland, you'll find yourself just around the corner to both 295 N and S, walking distance to the grocery store, countless restaurants including the savory bagel spot, Rose Foods, and a hop over to the Farmer's Market. Just across the street, you face the USM campus and gym offering a unique opportunity to witness and reap the benefits of it's current ''renaissance''. Last, but not least, Back Cove is a 5 MINUTE walk. Don't miss your opportunity to own this one of a kind of property.
