63 Mountfort StreetPortland, ME 04101Sale Price: $676,000

This sparkling, contemporary townhouse perches on Munjoy Hill just a few blocks from the waterfront and the Old Port. Open-concept first floor offers southern exposure for sunlight all day long. The renovated kitchen features snowy quartz countertops, soft close cabinetry, handsome oak shelving, and a new suite of service-friendly domestic-brand appliances. The spacious living and dining area has restored hardwood flooring, and a wide patio door leading to a back deck and to a private parking spot beyond. A half bath serves the first floor. Upstairs you'll find three good sized bedrooms - a rarity on The Hill - and restored hardwood flooring throughout. On this level, is a completely updated bath with custom tiled tub. The primary bedroom - and the bath - have beautiful views of the city and sunsets. The first floor is heated and cooled with a new heat pump; individually controlled baseboards on the second floor allow for precise zoned heating. On the basement level is a large bonus room (unheated), as well as a second room for laundry, workshop, and storage. The Washington Square townhouses are not condos. The front yard is yours for gardening, pets, patio, whatever you like. Various owners are updating their townhouses with solar panels, gorgeous decks, and custom masonry. And no wonder. To find a home with three bedrooms, a private yard, a large deck, plenty of storage, and parking, all a short stroll from the waterfront? For under $1 million? This is the hottest deal in town!
