Description
This small federal style home welcomes you to the West End of Portland with a lot of history! The property card states it was built in 1835; however, a local building historian states it was built ca. 1828. The main house is 19 feet (+-) wide at the street and runs 47 feet (+-) deep. Although a narrow and deep lot is a common size in the historical section of Portland, this home has a larger yard and ample sun exposure. It's a small 1.5 story home with 1163 SF finished space containing 2 bedrooms,...This small federal style home welcomes you to the West End of Portland with a lot of history! The property card states it was built in 1835; however, a local building historian states it was built ca. 1828. The main house is 19 feet (+-) wide at the street and runs 47 feet (+-) deep. Although a narrow and deep lot is a common size in the historical section of Portland, this home has a larger yard and ample sun exposure. It's a small 1.5 story home with 1163 SF finished space containing 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a detached 2 story 2 car garage. There is potential for an accessory dwelling unit over the garage. Its convenient location between Brackett and Congress Streets allows easy access to downtown, I-295, amenities, medical facilities, Hadlock Field, Western Promenade, Cross Insurance Arena, and art museum...so many wonderful places just steps away. Bring your vision to the property! With historical or non-historic renovation, this home in the heart of the West End will be desirable for a family or investor. The 1924 Portland Tax Record is included in the document section showing an original photo of the home and garage.
