Located on the prominent corner of Munjoy and Wilson Streets, just a few blocks from the Eastern Promenade and directly abutting neighborhood green space, this impressive five-unit (originally built as four 1,500 SF apartments) property offers a rare combination of scale, location, and future potential. Approximately 6,100 square feet of living space, the building is currently configured with three spacious three-bedroom, one-bath apartments, each featuring generous living rooms, separate dining rooms, and full kitchens, while the remaining floor has been divided into a one-bedroom unit and a two-bedroom unit. The building's exceptional size and coveted Munjoy Hill location create a wide range of opportunities for the next owner. A) The Owner Occupant who wants more space than a traditional, small, Portland apartment. Restore the four unit layout which allows a buyer to move into one and rent the others - free of Portland's rent control - and helps cover your rent. B) An Investor/Developer to convert to condos as four or five large, luxury units. With neighboring properties showcasing rooftop decks that capture the surrounding views, the potential for a similar addition, along with other thoughtful improvements, makes this a truly compelling offering.

East End, located between Munjoy Hill and the Old Port, is a residential and waterfront Portland neighborhood with brick rowhouses and harbor-view parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Congress Street near the Eastern Promenade, where corner markets, coffee counters, and small galleries set a steady, walkable rhythm. The Eastern Promenade and Eastern Promenade Trail frame daily routines with Casco Bay breezes and long views. Portland Food Co-op anchors pantry runs with a community-minded feel. The Portland Observatory adds a maritime landmark above the rooftops. Tree-lined blocks mix historic homes with updated apartments, and the shoreline keeps the pace tied to the water.
