Welcome to this one-of-a-kind urban sanctuary—a true piece of Portland’s story. Originally built in 1910 as South Portland’s first branch library, this distinctive home was moved just one block to its current location around 1920. Local lore tells of children forming a line, passing books hand to hand, as the library’s collection was moved to the Customs House (which still stands in nearby Lair Hill Park).Today, this historic building has been thoughtfully transformed into a loft-style residence, blending history with modern comfort. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is the heart of the home, featuring soaring 12-foot ceilings that practically beg for a library ladder, and a cozy wood stove that makes the space feel warm and inviting. The updated kitchen boasts quartz countertops (2021) and an extra-quiet dishwasher with a third rack (2025). The bathroom offers timeless charm with traditional mosaic tile and a spa-like shower complete with dual shower heads and controls. Outside, enjoy a charming backyard oasis, rare in the city, with a fenced yard (2020), dog run, garden, and a newer concrete pad (2023). Additional practical features include a durable metal roof, tankless water heater, and a small cellar storage area. Take a look today! [Home Energy Score = 3.
