Available October 15th and currently undergoing designer updates (NOTE: current images are prior to the updates that are in progress), this exceptional condo blends timeless architectural character with an inviting, updated aesthetic. Soaring ceilings, exquisite turn-of-the-century millwork, and beautifully preserved historic details create a residence rich in charm and sophistication. This spacious unit is truly one of a kind -- a very large corner unit with windows throughout, wrapping around the building to allow morning and afternoon sunlight to stream in from the east and north. The unit also includes a PRIVATE STORAGE unit onsite. The apartment will have fresh paint throughout, a new tile backsplash in the spacious kitchen, brand new, high end, dimmable lighting fixtures throughout, and new wood blinds and custom window treatments. The unit has a semi-private second entrance from the enclosed exterior courtyard on the north side of the building, providing an extra element of privacy, convenience for pet owners, and the feel of a duplex or townhome. The Marlborough Building is one of the most iconic condominium units in Portland, built in 1914. A designated historic landmark, the location is ideally situated in the Portland Arts District, just around the corner from the State Theater, Portland Museum of Art and Portland Stage. A five minute walk to Deering Oaks Park and Downtown, 10 minutes walk from the Old Port and Waterfront, and Maine Medical Center, and within 20 minutes walk to West End, East End and Back Cove Trail, all that Portland has to offer is literally steps from your door. As you enter the lobby of the building, you'll notice the unique octagonal reception area where you can take the ''birdcage'' elevator or wide staircase to the second floor to find the main, front door of the unit. Enter and be greeted by a gracious entry hallway with two closets. Several built ins and classic architectural details throughout showcase the original high quality build and gorgeous old-world charm. Beautiful vintage hardware and features have been maintained throughout and seamlessly married with the new updates to create a stunning and cohesive design. There is a full laundry room and private, locked storage space in the basement, accessed from the elevator or from your back stairwell, and a charming backyard garden space to enjoy, all right in the middle of the city!
