Welcome to 11 Vesper Street, a beloved family home (adapted into an owner-occupied 3-unit) in one of Portland's most desirable locations. Hitting the market for the first time in nearly 60 years. don't miss this rare opportunity to unlock a hidden gem, steps from the Eastern Promenade, Fort Allen Park, and all of Portland's shops, restaurants, food trucks, and culture. Enjoy views of Casco Bay, and Spring Point Lighthouse as you sip your coffee on the deck outside the kitchen, basking in the ocean breeze, and surrounded by the heritage grape vine (transplanted by the family from Italy). The first floor will charm you with hardwood floors, front to back layout, two full bathrooms and options for one or two bedrooms. On the second floor, the wide plank pine floors featured throughout the Unit 2 (1 BR) are gorgeous. Unit 3 offers some of the best views of the water at the property. Each 1-bedroom unit features a full bath and has its own gas meter. When you schedule your viewing, don't miss the attic, with extra space that your imagination and ingenuity could incorporate in new and exciting ways. 11 Vesper Street presents a wide range of options, whether you're looking to owner occupy and offset your living expenses (note: an owner-occupied three unit in Portland is presently exempted from rent control ordinances), restore into a single family home, or use as an investment property with long or short term rentals. The existing garage presents an opportunity to restore or rebuild as you breathe new life into this quintessential Munjoy Hill treasure for the next 60 years and beyond. (Also listing as MLS#: 1537865).
