This Munjoy Hill 3-unit is in an incredible location on Portland's East End. 56 Congress St is only two blocks (eight buildings) from the Prom, with the gorgeous park, food trucks, trails, tennis courts, and East End Beach right outside your door. The building has three 2 BR units, a long driveway, sweet backyard, and fully rebuilt decks with water views. The first floor will be vacant at closing, so if you're an owner occupant looking to put down roots or have a crash pad in this coveted location, you should make sure you see this special address.
