Historic Webb House in Portland, ME, Serves Up Stately Elegance for $3.4M

A Colonial Revival home in the heart of Portland, ME, recently hit the market for $3,450,000. The six-bedroom mansion, known locally as the Webb House, was built in 1906 for a lawyer named Richard Hinds Webb.

The handsome estate was designed by renowned Portland architect John Calvin Stevens and is even rumored to have been his favorite project.

We can certainly see why.

The home’s original construction remains intact, and a sunroom added in 2019 blends seamlessly with the exterior design.

Renovated residence

The current owners purchased the property in 2014 for $1,610,000, according to Realtor.com®. They modernized the nearly 6,000-square-foot house with a gourmet kitchen and high-end appliances, plus climate control in the bedrooms.

Notable spaces in the home include the entry and grand staircase, living room, and a library with built-ins.

Unique architectural features abound here, and listing agent Melissa Mckersie has no trouble naming her favorites.

“There’s a floating staircase; high ceilings throughout; and six period, molding fireplaces,” she says.

Also noteworthy are the four en suite bathrooms and the dining room’s gilded, coffered ceilings. The house even has a finished basement that could be used as a media room, gym, or rec room.

In addition to the home‘s turnkey condition, its location is a major perk—just a stroll away from many retail and entertainment establishments in the coveted West End neighborhood.

“There’s a buzzing restaurant and arts scene in this part of Portland,” says Mckersie. “The home is also within walking distance to the private school, Wayneflete.”
