Selling Office: Keller Williams Realty.Welcome to the Captain Jesse Partridge House (c. 1786) — a truly rare and special blend of historic charm and city convenience. Set on over two acres high above the Stroudwater River, this extraordinary Portland property gives the feeling of a secluded country retreat just three miles from downtown. The main residence features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with wide pine floors, eight fireplaces, high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a wonderfully functional layout that honors the home's historic character while supporting modern living. Thoughtful recent improvements include a new heating system, insulated attic and basement, and beautifully updated exterior siding—enhancing comfort and efficiency while preserving historic integrity. A rebuilt carriage house/barn provides garage and flexible hangout space, complemented by ample storage in the recently constructed woodshed. Additional charming outbuildings include a custom greenhouse, garden shed, and a pool house/studio. The land itself is as special as the house. Enjoy gardening, swimming in the in-ground pool, kayaking, cross country skiing, and skating on the river all the way to Gorham, working from the 3-season studio, or simply taking in peaceful sunsets and total privacy. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access nearby to the Portland Trail System, connecting you by foot, bike, or snowshoe to all the city has available. Whether you are an old-house devotee or simply seeking a distinctive, well-designed home close to Portland's award-winning restaurants, shops, museums, Merrill Auditorium, and Thompson's Point, this property truly stands alone. Fun historical note: records indicate an astonishing 26,000 bricks were used to construct the home's central chimney.
