A rare opportunity to enjoy life on the quieter side of Portland's coveted East End, directly across from the iconic 63-acre Eastern Promenade. Designed by the renowned Olmsted firm, this extraordinary waterfront park offers sweeping lawns descending toward Casco Bay, a beach and boat launch, walking and biking trails, community gardens, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, ball fields, and playgroundsa€”all just outside your door.The association offers an impressive collection of amenities, including an in-ground pool, grilling patio with fire pit, fitness room, bike storage, library, spacious meeting room, beautifully appointed lobby, elevators, individual storage, ample guest parking, and assigned/deeded owner parking. Remarkably ,monthly dues include internet and cable. What truly distinguishes this residence is something only a select few units enjoy: a private, ground-level entrance directly into the home, conveniently located beside its designated covered parking space and garage. Arrive home and step directly insidea€”an especially welcome luxury when unloading groceries during a Maine rainstorm or winter snowfall.The expansive covered balcony is another exceptional feature, feeling more like an outdoor room than a traditional balcony. Overlooking the Promenade, it provides a wonderful setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, spectacular sunrises and moonrises, or simply relaxing and taking in the surroundings.Offering more than 1,300 square feet, this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath residence lives more like a home than a condominium. From the private entrance, a convenient mudroom leads into the generous living and dining areas, with direct access to the covered balcony. Just beyond the dining area is an updated, well-appointed galley kitchen.A welcoming foyer connects the home's private spaces, including a storage and utility area, half bath, two comfortable bedrooms, an updated full bath with custom shower, and a dedicated laundry room.
