Quality 2-family. Ideal Location. The Perfect Single-family or Condo Alternative. Centrally located on Portland's peninsula, this comprehensively updated multi-family offers immediate access to everything Portland has to offer. Walk-Score calls this location a 'walker's paradise' and is ideal for anyone who wants to walk, bike, or jump on public transportation. For the last 17 years, the current owner has updated and upgraded everything from the roof to the foundation. There are literally too many updates to list, but a few highlights are windows, exterior and interior doors, trim and siding repairs, roof upgrades, fresh paint inside and out, and an updated side deck just this summer. Both units are condo quality with lots of light, retained period details, warm and welcoming wood floors, and spacious living/kitchen/dining areas. The 3rd level was originally finished and likely tied into the upper unit. This space is a blank slate and, if finished, would afford the top floor breathtaking Back Cove, western mountain, and sunset views. The yard is also a hit with raised garden beds and plenty of room for grilling, chilling, playing, and pets. Note - the first level vacates mid-November, and the second floor is month-to-month, making move-in flexible.
