Parkseitiges viktorianisches 2-Zi.-Apartment — zu Fuß zum Alten Hafen, Parkplatz abseits der Straße, Balkon

PORT CITY NEST — PARKSIDE PORTLAND 2BR, WALK TO OLD PORT

A historic 2-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a Victorian 3-unit in Portland`s Parkside neighborhood. Five minutes` walk to downtown, 15–20 minutes to the Old Port. Off-street parking spot included — a real perk in Portland.

THE APARTMENT
Two bedrooms, both with queen beds (one memory foam, one inner-spring, both with plush linens). One full bathroom. Living room with comfortable seating and a Smart TV. Full kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, full-size fridge, coffee maker, kettle, and toaster. Dining for 4. In-unit washer and dryer.

Original Victorian details throughout — tin ceilings, columns, a fireplace mantle, original moldings — paired with modern updates where you`d want them. The owner`s cleaner uses only non-toxic, eco-friendly products throughout the apartment.

THE BALCONY
A private balcony off the front with a table for 4 and two lounge chairs — built for morning coffee and evening wine.

YOGA & WORK
A dedicated yoga corner with two mats, a foam roller, and two meditation cushions. The dining room doubles as workspace if you need it.
