Perched atop Munjoy Hill, offering glimpses of Casco Bay, this updated condo is brimming with bonuses: Roof rights! A garage! Two gorgeous full baths! An airy deck that catches the sea breeze all summer long! This exceptional condo also enjoys in-unit laundry, heat pump heating and cooling, an enormous storage room, plus basement storage. The updated kitchen features an harmonious palette of maple cabinets and golden granite, along with stainless steel appliances. The efficient layout incorporates a breakfast bar. An adjoining dining room makes for easy entertaining, and grants access to a big, tree-top deck. (Grilling is permitted on the deck!) On the south side of the home, a large living room enjoys bright sun all year long. The original dining room adds flex space for a den, playroom, or office. (This home was built as a three-bedroom flat; sellers converted the bedroom nearest the kitchen to a dining room.) A pair of bedrooms offer glimpses of Casco Bay. Two full bathrooms, with custom tile finishes, deliver a level of luxury almost never found in condos with this level of antique character. Off the rear stairway, you'll find another rarity. A very large storage room that could be... Pantry? Palatial walk-in closet? Office or workout space? And then, those deeded roof rights: What will you create up there, with panoramic views of Casco Bay and the city skyline? The grounds include off-street parking, plus the garage, and a modest lawn. Two blocks northeast is the magnificent Eastern Promenade, with its stunning vistas, food trucks, concerts, ball courts, and Portland's extensive trail system. A few minutes' walk west delivers you to the booming Washington Avenue, where restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and specialty markets are creating a brand new village center. A 20 minute walk brings you to the Old Port; a 15 minute drive takes you to the airport. The condo association is non-smoking, responsibly operated, and pets are welcome! Pre-inspection available.
