Maplewood

tour-july-sw-62nd1 Said to be a hunting lodge in a former life, this 1915 home is not to be missed. You could easily forget you're in Portland, and feel transported to a French or English village with it's swaths of lavender in the garden and the high beamed ceilings in the living room. The owner (a broker in my office) has just redone the kitchen with some very high end materials including a copper countertop area, double built in ovens, and a corner fireplace. All the floors have been replaced with wide plank hardwoods. Situated nicely in it's third of an acre lot, beautiful views of gardens greet one through most of the homes windows. Although the floor plan isn't typical, with two bedrooms down, and one up- someone is going to fall in love with this home in a big way. $675,000
