Property Watch: A Portland Cabinetmaker's Midcentury Modern
Briefly

The floor plan follows some classic geometry of the era. The front door opens to an airy living and dining room, complete with vaulted ceilings, tucked away from the rest of the home behind decorative room dividers. But everything just has a little extra magic. The two dividers that offset this particular living room each have an ornate floral relief at the center, surrounded by a lattice in a Chinese motif. Both have drawers facing the living room for a built-in sideboard at the base.
The suite just off the living room also shows off some woodwork, starting with a built-in desk and wardrobes in a short vestibule. In the bedroom, there's a peaked vault ceiling, a whole patterned wall reaching up into it; square tiles alternating grains to give a kind of parquet or woven effect. The room also has its own private fireplace recessed into floor-to-ceiling brick and its own private patio area, sheltered by a generous overhang and nestled into some landscaping.
