This classic Munjoy Hill two-unit has a name that speaks for itself Howard Street, where three Howards come to mind. Like Howard Stern, it's straightforward and no-nonsense; like Howard Hughes, it's efficient and smart in design; and like Howard Cosell, it's ready to call the play for your future. Each unit is a comfortable, two-bedroom layout simple and manageable. A rare bonus for the Hill, the property includes a driveway for off-street parking and a private backyard for outdoor space. Both units are modest in size, making them easy to maintain while offering rental potential or a smart owner-occupant setup. Set just steps from the Eastern Promenade and Portland's East End favorites, this Howard Street address is about as solid and practical as they come.
