**** INVESTORS TAKE NOTE **** Here is your chance to own a true Queen Anne Victorian in the heart of Portland, directly across from the Portland Family Health Centers. With its iconic turret, original-era architecture, and commanding curb presence, this is the kind of project property that rarely hits the open market. This home is not move-in ready—it is a full renovation / restoration candidate and should be treated as a fixer-upper investment property. If you’ve been looking for a historic home to bring back to life, this is the one to study closely, inspect carefully, and bid accordingly.

CLICK HERE FOR INSPECTION REPORT
A recent professional inspection is provided for transparency and should be reviewed in full by all bidders.
Roof & Water Intrusion
- Roof system appears old and beyond normal life expectancy, with the report stating the roof is in need of replacement.
- Missing and severely corroded flashing noted—conditions that can contribute to leaks and moisture intrusion.
- Interior findings include active water leak reported at/near the top-floor area below attic and multiple areas of moisture damage and roof-leak staining.
Exterior, Porches, Decks, and Grounds
- Exterior wall-covering defects noted, including damaged and loose materials and areas of concern at fascia.
- Crack in foundation wall reported.
- Rear deck conditions described as deteriorated, including reports of wood rot and inadequate structural components.
- A cellar under the rear deck was noted, but the inspector indicated access/inspection was restricted.
Windows & Safety
- Reports include wood rot at windows and cracked/broken glass conditions.
- Missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors were noted.
Interior Structural / Finish Concerns
- Multiple interior concerns were reported, including major corner cracks, moisture damage, and areas described as severe ceiling damage on the third floor, with the report warning that certain top-floor bedroom areas are “very dangerous.”
- Possible signs of fungal growth/mold-like conditions were mentioned, with recommendation for evaluation by a qualified mold professional.
Electrical / Systems
- With power shut off, the inspection notes limitations in testing/verification of electrical components and operation.
Bottom line: Plan for a full restoration budget, professional evaluations (roof, structure, electrical, mold/moisture, deck), and a careful due-diligence review of the inspection.
