This light-filled 2-bedroom, 1-bath condo is located in one of Portland's most convenient neighborhoods—just minutes from the Old Port, Back Cove, parks, restaurants, shopping, and more. It offers a great blend of city access and neighborhood charm.
The interior features a spacious open floor plan, high ceilings, hardwood floors, and plenty of character. Bay windows in the living room bring in natural light and offer views of the surrounding neighborhood. Pocket doors, a fireplace mantle, and built-in cabinets add to the unit's unique appeal.
The kitchen includes a gas range, perfect for those who enjoy cooking. The heating system and on-demand hot water were recently updated by the association for added comfort and efficiency.
The HOA fee covers heat, hot water, sewer, and maintenance, making for easy, low-maintenance living. Additional storage and bike space are available in the basement.
Ready for your personal touch, this condo provides one of the strongest values in Portland when considering location and space.
