Welcome to the Ebenezer Gibbs Home --- 523 Main Street, Portland. Originally built in 1732 for Ebenezer Gibbs and his wife, Ruth Bates, this historic residence has been cherished for nearly 300 years by generations of families. The current owner has enjoyed almost two decades here, continuing the tradition of thoughtful stewardship. Inside, you'll find 2 bedrooms with the potential to convert the main-level den into a first-floor bedroom if desired. Each floor offers a full bathroom, and the convenience of first-floor laundry just off the kitchen makes this historic gem feel distinctly modern. This home has been updated with care, including vinyl windows, boiler servicing, and a complete exterior refinish-garage included. Outdoors, the property shines with an oversized detached 2-car garage, complete with electrical, water, and power doors. Surrounding the home, beautiful gardens provide a serene backdrop for everyday living.
