Delightful vintage multi unit feels as if you are living in a single home. While one unit is on Columbia Rd, the adjoining unit is around the corner on Gay St. With a separate driveway, an old fashioned front porch, and walk up attics, each unit appears to be a standalone home, sharing a common wall along hallways for privacy. Rooms are spacious with abundant light thru replacement windows. Kitchens are suitable for dining if you prefer to use the dining room for another purpose. As expected, the livingrooms focal point is a fireplace. Grand staircase in each unit leads to 3 second floor bedrooms and full bath. Each unit has a half bath on the first floor, replacement windows, hardwood floors, separate heating systems, separate electricity, and even separate water meters. You will enjoy ambling to the numerous shops & eateries that are the hallmark of this Rosemont neighborhood, or recreating in the fields and courts of Deering High school 2 blocks away, or Portland Trails, just up the street. City library, elementary school , UNE, Capisic Pond, are an easy walk. Units are vacant! Rent is projected.
