About This Home
As of July 2020988 Sawyer Street is a beautiful home of unparalleled craftsmanship that seamlessly
marries old and new. Designed in 1926 by Frederick Wheeler Hinckley and located in
the historic Sylvan Sites neighborhood, it is one of South Portland's crown jewels. With
4300 sf of living space, the home has been comprehensively updated to showcase a
style and quality rarely seen today, reflecting high-end modern living with a nod to the
past, from central air to new heating and electrical systems to new windows throughout.
A beautiful custom chef's kitchen is central to modernizing the home, with a limestone
gas fireplace, large island, and separate wine bar and coffee bar. The main floor also
features a formal dining room with mahogany and leaded glass built-ins, a gracious
formal living room with custom tile fireplace, a wonderfully bright sunroom also with
custom fireplace, and a back staircase. The flying buttress main staircase is an
architectural delight. The second floor boasts a spacious master suite complete with a
new, spa-like bath with freestanding tub, Juliet balcony, and a walk-in dressing room -
rare for a home of this vintage. Two additional bedrooms and a study round out the
second floor. A walk-up third level includes a bright and spacious en-suite bedroom and
bath. A finished lower level rec/exercise room with gas fireplace, and a large, private
office. A tandem two-car garage rounds out this stunning home.
Sylvan Sites is defined by exquisite craftsmanship across a wide variety of lovely
homes, and Hinckley's use of consistent building setbacks, narrow sidewalks, grass
esplanades, and mature Norway maple canopy that creates a dramatic sense of
''arrival.'' Just minutes to downtown, the Old Port, beaches, one block from Hinckley
park, and two hours to Boston. With top of the line renovations throughout, this
architectural gem is the best example of old world craftsmanship and move in ready
convenience.
