Description

Step into a living masterpiece of 19th-century craftsmanship at 4 Walker Street, famously known as the Francis Peabody Home. Located in one of Portland's most vibrant neighborhoods within walking distance to downtown, notable restaurants and cafes, schools, hospitals and parks. This 4 bedroom 2.5 bath architectural jewel is an example of Italianate-Mansard or Second Empire style, offering distinguished exterior features such as the diamond-patterned slate roof, an elegant cupola and intricate details including ornate corbels and sawn scrolls. The interior remains thoughtfully preserved featuring original frescoes with breathtaking trompe l'oeil elements in the central hall and stairwell that evoke the grandeur of Portland's Gilded Age. The current owner has honored this historic treasure by maintaining many original features and making necessary updates including a new roof, exterior paint and updated bathrooms in recent years. Additional features beyond the structure include off street parking for up to 4 vehicles, a backyard with beautiful perennial gardens, an outdoor fireplace and plenty of space for entertaining. Beyond its architectural significance, the home holds a profound cultural legacy. This National Registered Residence was commissioned by prominent dry goods merchant Albert Berry Butler, built in 1868 during Portland's historic rebuilding after the Great Fire of 1866 and is one of two remaining local works by renowned architect, Matthew Stead. In the late 20th Century it was the residence of Frannie Peabody, a legendary AIDS activist and advocate for the vulnerable. Whether you are a preservationist seeking a museum quality residence or an investor looking for a home with deep historical roots, the Francis Peabody Home stands as a testament to both the entrepreneurial spirit of Albert Berry Butler and the compassionate activism of Frannie Peabody. Own a home where history, art and advocacy intersect in the heart of the West End.
