Are you feeling priced out of Portland? Want to be in-town and on the peninsula but don't have a million to spend. .. ? Want a historic home with amazing retained period details, some very nice updates but still have room to add your finishing touches? In a red-hot market do you want to buy at a remarkable reasonable price, add sweat equity and have instant equity? If so - then welcome home. Located in the up-and-coming Parkside neighborhood this circa 1865 retains much of its original features. From built-ins, fireplaces, original trim and moldings to the stunning stairwell historic charm surrounds. Current owner has taken a measured approach to updates and upgrades. Taking stewardship seriously the current owner chose to focus on a select number of improvements and do them right - really right. He replaced the slate roof, installed copper gutters and down-spouts, upgraded both baths and more. There are more improvements to make hence the below market list price. Just over 2,100sf, 3-4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, off street parking for 2 cars, pocket garden. .. Showings start Friday 9/11 with all offers due and reviewed Monday 9/21 @5PM.
