Located in a historic building at the top of India Street, you will find your perfect Portland condominium at 273 Congress St. East End Lofts was established in 2015 as the creative collaboration of local developers and architects. The building originally part 1860s single-family home, part storefront, and part warehouse was completely gutted, insulated, and converted into 10 energy-efficient units heated and cooled with mini-splits. There is also radiant heat in the bathroom, as well as two wall-hung electric units for augmenting heat when needed.
This unit is being offered fully furnished and ready for move-in.
The owners purchased this unit in the early stages and customized it with special features including engineered hickory flooring, 13' ceilings, and a custom loft accessed by a ladder crafted by a local metalsmith. They designed the kitchen with local cabinetmakers and countertop specialists, making it an efficient workspace for the discerning or budding chef. The space was even featured in Old Port Magazine for lifestyle and design in June 2017.
With windows on both the east and west sides, sun greets you in the morning and shines into the open, airy living space all afternoon. Specialty grocers, galleries, and museums are just steps away.
