About This Home
As of August 2025Tucked just off Inner Washington Ave, right where East End and Munjoy Hill mingle, this two-story hideaway sits in the heart of Portland's most effortlessly cool, ever-evolving corridor. Think cold brew mornings, natural wine nights, and more kombucha taps than you can count. This house is a stone's throw from iconic eateries, indie distilleries, and some of the best craft breweries in New England. Zoned for mixed residential and commercial use, this spot is perfect for creatives, remote workers, or anyone dreaming of launching their dream project from home. Inside, the space keeps it simple and soulful: hardwood and tiled floors, a cozy eat-in kitchen for lazy brunches, and a living room made for vinyl and vintage sofas. Upstairs, two bright, peaceful bedrooms—ideal for mid-afternoon naps or late-night brainstorming. The front porch and back deck expand your living space outdoors with refreshingly low-maintenance vibes—so you can spend less time mowing and more time relaxing. Parking on East Cove Street adds convenience and you're minutes from the Eastern Prom, East End Beach, and the Old Port. Whether you're into kayaking at dawn or catching experimental theater at dusk, this location feeds your lifestyle.
