The House of the Scarlet Gables is a marriage of timeless aristocratic European style to modern American luxury on one of coveted Irvington Neighborhood’s most tranquil and lovely tree-lined streets. Built in 1920, the proud colonial is meticulously reimagined in 2025 by McCulloch Construction, Portland’s premier design-build firm. Four levels of light-filled architectural magnificence, high ceilings, and detailed quality beyond other Portland offerings: 6 beds, 7 baths, with separate guest quarters give ample space to live and entertain. New artisan stone & brick walls enclose and elevate the prized .24 acre corner lot graced by a majestic Heritage Tree. Cedar shake roof (2025), hedges, iron work, white fences with garden gates and paths, covered porches, gazebo, riotous gardens and outdoor fireplace feel like coming home to a private English country estate, right in the center of Portland’s most family friendly, convenient, walkable/bikeable neighborhood. Within over 6000 sf of exhilarating grandeur: mirrored entries, 15 dazzling chandeliers (including a one-of-a-kind double), acres of intricate white woodwork, 14 rooms of artistic artisanal tile, stunning chef’s kitchen, 600+ sf primary suite with 2 baths, fireplace, dressing room and glorious balcony; all lifting Portland’s most livable neighborhood to new heights. Six sets of French doors, skylights, and large windows infuse with light; every space vibrates with soul, whimsy and surprise. All the amenities of comfort, redesigned for modern work, play and luxury. The House of the Scarlet Gables echoes with a century of warmth and family, and is newly remade with love to ferry a fortunate family to higher living. To live here is to find yourself in a picture-perfect corner of the world. The facing house is McCulloch’s work; together the two homes harmonize and thrum with the storybook magic of a bygone age.
