    What's special

    A beautifully restored historic Belfast home, thoughtfully and elegantly modernized while preserving its original soul. 38 Congress Street is a gracious, light-filled home with remarkable architectural character. Currently configured as two independent residences, each with its own entrance, the property offers unusual flexibility. The first-floor residence can provide rental income while the owner enjoys the expansive second and third floors, or the arrangement can easily be reversed. With its original layout and character intact, it could also easily be returned to a single-family home. Located on Congress Street, the property offers convenient access to downtown, shops, restaurants, galleries, and the waterfront. The first-floor residence has been stunningly updated, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, exquisite original details, and a stunning sunroom filled with natural light. The kitchen has been tastefully modernized with European appliances and flows easily between the living spaces. A generous bedroom, full bath, ample closet space, and covered porch complete the first-floor residence. The second and third floors offer exceptional scale and versatility, with a five-bedroom configuration or the option to retain one or two rooms as an artist's studio or office. Hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and beautiful original features--including six fireplaces throughout the home--give these spaces a wonderful sense of history and character. A beautiful front garden and two separate driveway parking spaces add to the appeal of this exceptional in-town property. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive Belfast home that combines architectural beauty, thoughtful modernization, and exceptional flexibility. SHOWINGS BEGIN ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 14TH
