About This Home

As of May 2026

Prime property on a prime 4.51-acre lot in the highly desirable University Heights subdivision, offering exceptional privacy just minutes from Gorham Village. This custom Colonial welcomes you with a sweeping farmer's porch framed by classic white pillars, perfect for morning coffee, iced tea, or relaxed outdoor dining. The backyard is designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, with an inviting pool, sunny patio, open lawn, charming stone wall, and mature tree border creating a peaceful, private setting. Built for its original owners, this home offers more than 2,900 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with custom carpentry, beautiful pine floors, and a bright kitchen featuring cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a large granite center island. The main level includes a formal living room, an open family room with wood stove, dining area, laundry room, and full bath.
Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms and another full bath with a soaking tub. A large bonus room over the garage offers flexible space for guests, in-law quarters, a media room, home office, or potential primary suite. Recent improvements include a new roof-house and garage, 1st floor painted (exc. bathroom-laundry room). New seamless gutter system and gutter guards. New front columns and updated appliances. This home offers the space, setting, and versatility to match a variety of lifestyles. There's even a chicken coop for fresh eggs at home. Conveniently located near the turnpike, the southern bypass, and the Portland International Jetport, while still enjoying all that Gorham Village has to offer, including restaurants, cafés, shopping, trails, lakes and ski areas within easy reach! A vibrant main street community - and a wonderful place to call home.
