This downtown Portland Maine Inn SOLD is located in a beautiful residential neighborhood of vibrant, ever-growing Portland, Maine.
Built in 1871 and recorded in the City’s register of Historic Homes, the Victorian-era Inn has been meticulously maintained and updated to satisfy chic, modern sensibilities and expectations.
The Inn has six uniquely designed guest rooms spanning three floors, all featuring private bath. The common dining and sitting rooms were fully renovated in 2017, leading Downeast Magazine to recognize the Inn’s “wow factor” interior design. The sitting room features a gorgeous built-in bookcase and gas fireplace.
The Inn is steps away from the Olmsted-designed Western Promenade with grand views of the White Mountains, and is within easy walking distance of the Portland Museum of Art and the Old Port District.
The ‘garden apartment’ style owners quarters is perfectly suited to an urban sense of style and comfort.
