Known as the Alfred Woodman/John A. Poor House, this historic three-story brick home was built in 1885 for two prominent Portland businessmen. The original 10,419± square foot, two-family building has since been converted into 9 residential units and is publicly on the market for the first time in 90± years. The property offers southern exposure and is quietly tucked away near the middle of two block long Deering Street and across from Deering Street Park. Along with its 64± feet of frontage on Deering Street, there is an additional 32± feet of frontage on Avon Place and within the .212± acres of the land, there are lovely gardens and mature trees. A defining property feature is the off-street parking space for 10 cars, a truly rare commodity for any intown residence. The grounds and parking areas could be reconfigured to create outdoor ''green'' living space or possible building expansion. While the building still retains many period details, a new owner will likely envision a revitalization for the building. A personal residence with the possibility of additional rental income, a conversion back to two private residences, high-end condominiums, or upscale rental apartments are a few options as the possibilities are only limited to one's imagination. Located within short walking distance from the property are the numerous amenities of Portland including nationally recognized restaurants, specialty shops, galleries, art museum, sports and theatrical events and hospital. Portland's International Jetport, beaches, marinas, and golf facilities are all nearby.
