INTRO: Charming, unfurnished apartment available soon (June 1) on Portland Peninsula!

FEATURES: Classic and modern features abound throughout this unique, well-kept three-unit building, included on the Munjoy Hill Historic Registry. Originally built in 1895 as the JJ Gilbert House, this spacious, tastefully renovated apartment is on the second floor, with hardwood floors, windows on all sides of building providing wonderful natural light, and even your own private back deck! The second floor space features a nicely upgraded kitchen, including stainless steel appliances (gas stove/oven, built-in microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher), granite countertops, and in-unit washer and dryer in laundry room/mud room. The space also includes two bedrooms (both with closets), remodeled bathroom (with bathtub/shower), loft style living and dining rooms (with built in bookcase and linen closet), high ceilings, crown molding, recessed lighting, dual-paned windows and window treatments through out. There is plentiful storage, and even a finished four-season sun room overlooking the large private back deck, with garden views and even peeks of the iconic Portland Observatory and downtown skyline. HEATING SYSTEM: The natural gas-fueled, forced hot water heating system is well maintained, and serviced annually by owner. Each of the three apartments in this historic building has its own boiler (in basement) with in unit programmable thermostats, and radiators in every room (including the four-season sun room). PARKING: Reserved off-street parking for one car is optional/available. And additional street parking is free and easy throughout the neighborhood.
