Portland - Beach Property For Sale #1425465

HISTORY! LOCATION! INCOME! - Newly re-done apartment on the waterside, producing $2,000/month. For those who like history, you will be proud to own the oldest house in Portland, built in 1700 and documented in 1734. Built in the National District of Stroudwater by Colonel Westbrook, this home is noted for its double gunstock flare posts. Located on the west shore of the tidal Fore River, one can still see the existing wharf, built for Captain Lobdell who was building and trading with tall ships back in the days when the Fore River was navigable from the ocean. The old hamlet of ''Stroudwater village'' just off Congress Street west and minutes from the airport and downtown, enjoys the quietude of the dead end of Westbrook Street, the serene Stroudwater waterfall and miles of walking in the neighborhood without traffic. The proud owners in Stroudwater rarely put their homes on the open market for sale. It would be very easy to reconvert this house to a single family home. With 150' of water frontage you can enjoy a canoe or kayak ride, bird watching or just watching the tide, and for those who want to walk the dog, there are quiet dead end streets with no traffic. This antique home has seen a lot of renovations and updates through an ongoing repairs and maintenance program. The seller is looking for a new owner to continue the ongoing restoration. You will appreciate the visit of the interior of the home by watching the video. The main house is on 3 stories and apartment is on 2 stories. One could open up the downstairs level from breakfast nook into apartment and change the living/dining area into a first floor bedroom with the existing bath on same level.For residential listing refer to MLS # 1485134
