About This Home

As of August 2023

A must see! Featuring this ultra-contemporary bright and lofty condo in a former historic schoolhouse. This top floor corner unit enjoys 14-foot-tall ceilings with ornate stamped tin and crown molding. The newly renovated kitchen features Caesarstone quartz countertops, updated appliances, Cle Tile Moroccan zellige backsplash, and a Vibia Palma pendant. New ceiling fans circulate air in the rest of the tall space. The lofted area above the bathroom creates additional storage square footage and an opportunity for extra living space. The condo also enjoys five closets, a deeded parking space and shared guest parking, and a locked basement-level storage area. Enjoy having in-unit laundry and an association fee that includes water, sewer, internet, plowing, and more. Just leave your car at home and walk to a Sea Dogs game at Hadlock Field, concerts at Thompson's Point, or the Portland Transportation Center featuring the Downeaster trains and access to Boston and Logan International Airport. A Portland Metro stop outside your front door offers effortless access to the historic Old Port's cobbled waterfront streets and award-winning restaurants.
