About This Home
As of September 2025Architectural Charm in the Heart of Portland's Arts District This extraordinary third-floor condo in Winslow Lofts offers a rare blend of historic character and modern comfort, all within Portland's vibrant Arts District. Converted in the early 2000s from an 1875 building, the space retains its architectural integrity with soaring 9-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, arched windows, and hardwood floors throughout. The open-concept living area is flooded with natural light from oversized windows that frame iconic views of Congress Street. A gas fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, while the spacious layout and half bath make entertaining effortless. The modern kitchen features sleek finishes and smart design, complemented by clever built-ins and basement storage for added functionality. The large bedroom is a peaceful retreat with more exposed brick, a walk-in closet, full bath, and in-unit laundry—offering convenience without sacrificing style. Located in a boutique building of just 14 residential and 3 commercial units, this home provides privacy with only two other residences on the third floor, accessible by elevator. Outside your door, enjoy the energy of downtown Portland—near the Portland Museum of Art, State Theater, Merrill Auditorium, and the shops and restaurants of the Old Port. Leased parking is available nearby. This is urban living at its most inspiring.
