About 20 Thomas St

Nestled in Portland's sought-after West End neighborhood this stunning 1899 home, designed by renowned architect John Calvin Stevens for philanthropists Edward and Mary Staples, is a masterpiece of timeless elegance and modern convenience. Located in the heart of the highly desirable West End neighborhood, this property offers not only historic charm but also a host of contemporary amenities—and the added benefit of rental income from a third-floor apartment and private parking spaces that can help cover taxes, heating, and electric bills. Stepping inside, you'll be captivated by the original details, including a breathtaking two-story stained-glass window in the stairwell, cozy bedroom fireplaces, elegant pocket doors, and gleaming old-growth hardwood floors.

On the main level, a bonus room with built-in cabinetry is ideal for an office, first-floor bedroom, playroom, or craft area. The full basement provides versatile space for a home gym, weatherproof storage, or even additional guest accommodations. All of this is situated in one of Portland's most desirable and tranquil neighborhoods, just minutes from parks, farmers markets, coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and Downtown.
