'Talk about location! Tucked away in a quiet corner off Congress St. is this wonderfully maintained, stand-alone condo known as 'The Cottage'. Hidden from the city, yet so close to everything there is to love about Portland. Great local eateries, like Terlingua and Duckfat are within a ½ mile, East End Beach and the Eastern Prom are 2 blocks away, while Merrill Auditorium, Portland Observatory and Munjoyous Spa are all so close, your car will never have to leave it's dedicated parking spot on Merrill St. Originally built in 1868, all 6 of the Hill Yard condominiums were stripped to the studs in 2018 and updated with new electrical and plumbing systems, a fully insulated, vinyl sided exterior, Premium Jeld Wen insulated windows, and mini-splits throughout each unit. Inside you'll find the beautifully re-finished hardwood floors are about all that remain of the original unit. There is truly a sense of calm and peace that fills your spirit as you step through the front door. Comfy and inviting, the living room is just to the right of the entry and flows casually to the dining room, which opens to the kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find the primary bedroom, a smaller, guest room and a full bath, featuring a laundry area. Did I mention the back yard, exclusively yours to use? .12 acres of green space, featuring a lovely patio and easy care perennials, so peaceful it's hard to believe you're in the city! Open houses: Friday 6/28, 5pm -7 pm and Saturday 11am - 1pm Come visit this lovely urban oasis and find yourself at home!'
