Every home owner at 118 will have different needs and desires and deserves to create the home that is best for them.  Some will want a wet bar in the living area, others will not.  Some will want a TV in every room, others will not. Some will want to light […]

Portland media fond of the Hill

In the premiere issue of Old Port Magazine, we were delighted to find the story, “Life on the Hill.” Pick up a copy for a history and tour of our neighborhood, and profiles of a few neighbors.

Even when it’s out of sight, it slips into consciousness—when you catch the measured flash of Portland Head Light through a window at night, or hear the foghorn […]
