Located in what has always been considered Portland's most desirable neighborhood, the West End, this property offers remarkable access to in-town yet retains a pedestrian and pastoral feel. The siting of this property is just outside of business zones and very walkable to a host of lifestyle amenities and Maine's largest employer; Maine Medical Center. Built as a single family the property is currently a 5 unit with 4 units in the main house and an incredible carriage house. The carriage house sits quietly off the main road offering a remarkable peaceful yet urban feel. Facing due south, this structure is bathed in natural light. Fully updated with 2 bedroom, 2 bath, open, vaulted and open concept living/dining area, 2 car garage, expansive deck and more. .. this is the perfect rental, AirBnB or owners unit. The main house offers: medical offices on the ground level, 2 residential apartments on the 2nd level and a lovely 2 bedroom residential apartment on the 3rd level. The property is an ideal addition to the quality minded investor, an ideal owner occupied investment and even poised for condo conversion. As an alternative the conversion back to single family or 2-family would be straightforward.
