“Fab rehab” featured in Down East magazine

In 2019 Josepha Hegan of J. Hegan Interiors downsized from her 2,000 sf condo in South Portland to a derelict 1969 shed-roofed ranch with beige vinyl siding and just 800 sf of living space. “Pretty much everyone I knew was horrified,” Hegan says with a laugh. “They thought I’d gone around the bend. But I knew what it could be.”

The April 2024 issue of Down East magazine tells the full story of Hegan’s “Fab Rehab.” Read about it here: 4 Stylish, Efficient Maine Dwellings Under 1,000 Square Feet.
