Overview

This classic New Englander duplex has undergone extensive improvements, including a new roof, siding, windows, electrical systems, heating systems, and more. The property is currently configured as a two-unit home, with the second and third floors renovated to provide bright, open living spaces and outdoor deck access. The first floor is offered as a blank canvas for redesign, with the layout supporting the potential to complete a third unit. Separate utilities are in place for each unit, offering convenience for day-to-day management and resident turnover.

Located in Portland’s West End, the home benefits from water views of the Fore River. The setting is tucked away within the city, and the property has three sides that abut City-zoned Open Space, contributing to an added measure of privacy. The overall zoning is RN-2.

For owner-occupants or investors, the current two-unit configuration provides an immediately usable income setup, while the first floor offers flexibility for a future redesign aligned with an expanded unit plan. The combination of completed building-wide upgrades and independently metered utilities can help reduce near-term capital planning and streamline operational management.
