28 North St Unit 1

INTRO: Charming apartment available soon (Sept 1) on Portland Peninsula! This is an unfurnished two bedroom, one bath apartment in a quiet, professional, historic triple-decker building, high atop Munjoy Hill in Portland's spectacular and eclectic East End! FEATURES: Old world features abound throughout this unique, well-cared-for space, included on the Munjoy Hill Historic Registry (The Horace Hallett House). Built in 1883, this classic apartment features lots of original woodwork (plus an upcoming fresh paint job!), hardwood floors, built-in bookshelves, numerous original pocket doors, dual-paned windows, ceiling fans, updated electrical outlets, new stainless steel refrigerator and electric stove, the original "ice box" in kitchen (now wine storage?!), and even your own washer and dryer ... the best of old AND new! The 1,459 total square feet space spans all of the first floor of the Horace Hallett House. And in addition to the two bedrooms, there is also a "double living room," separated by original hidden pocket doors, and perfect as a study, a professional working from home in the post pandemic era, etc. HEATING SYSTEM: The natural gas-fueled, forced hot water heating system is modern (top of line boiler!), 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. PARKING: Reserved off-street parking for 1-2 cars (tandem) is available/optional. And additional street parking is free and easy throughout our little corner of the Munjoy Hill neighborhood. STORAGE: Limited basement storage space negotiable for large sports equipment -- bicycles, skis, snowboards, etc. GROUND TRANSPO: In addition to your own, reserved off street parking space/s (should you choose), nearby public transportation options abound -- Uber / Lyft, local bus lines, DownEaster train / bus station to Boston and Logan Airport (BOS), Portland Jetport (PWM), Portland Ferry Terminal to all Casco Bay Islands, and I-295 are all very convenient ... but not TOO close. NEIGHBORHOOD: All of Munjoy Hill's renowned amenities are super walkable -- restaurants and coffee/tea houses, neighborhood markets and bakeries, Portland Observatory, community gardens, etc. Stroll over to the Eastern Prom and its epic Casco Bay views, parks and playgrounds, East End Beach, public boat ramp, sailing and kayaking, tennis and pickle ball courts, walking/jogging/ride trails, etc. And just an easy walk down the hill is Washington Ave's popular "Restaurant Row," the East Bayside Neighborhood with additional restaurants and micro-breweries (Rising Tide, Austin Street, Tandem Coffee, etc.), the Old Port, and all of downtown Portland's urban amenities -- Northeastern's Roux Institute (both old AND new campuses), Univ. of Southern Maine (USM), Univ. of Maine School of Law, all local hospitals (MaineMed, Northern Light Mercy, etc.), local sports teams (Sea Dogs, Mariners, Red Claws/Celtics, Hearts of Pine), local music venues, Back Cove Trail, etc. SUMMARY: Unfurnished. 12-month lease. Available Sept 1/2026. Excellent credit scores, employment, and housing references required. No smoking anywhere on premises. No dogs. Single, well-behaved cat considered (with excellent pet references and pet fee). Select, in person showings by appointment only; please do not disturb current tenants at 28 North!
