126 William Street

This stunning shingle-style Queen Anne Victorian, built over 125 years ago in what was once Fessenden Park - a historic suburb and trolley stop from downtown Portland - has been beautifully modernized while preserving its timeless charm.

A gracious front porch welcomes you with glimpses of the setting sun and invites you to relax and enjoy the quiet, one-way, tree-lined street lined with other historic homes. Inside, the first floor offers an warm and welcoming open-concept layout with connected living, dining, and fireplace areas, complemented by a modern chef-ready galley kitchen.

Upstairs, the second floor features a new and spacious primary suite with built-in wardrobes and a custom shower bath, plus two additional bedrooms and a luxurious shared bath. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and another full bath. The bright, updated basement includes a generous laundry area and ample storage.

The fenced backyard is perfect for relaxing or entertaining with its lovely paver patio, and the rare garage provides added convenience. Updates are too too extensive to list - from wiring and plumbing to super efficient heating and air conditioning via super-efficient mini-split heat pumps.

Located in Portland's sought-after Oakdale/USM neighborhood, this architectural gem offers quiet residential living with immediate access to the University of Southern Maine's Portland Campus, Back Cove, and the vibrant shops, cafes, galleries, bookstores and more of nearby Woodford's Corner.

This is truly an architectural wonder and a turnkey historic home--easy to show and a delight to experience!
