18 South St Portland, ME 04101

Here's your rare and exciting opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Portland history or to reimagine or create your version of this incredible urban oasis. In the heart of the Old Port tucked away on an astonishingly quiet dead end street, the legal use for this lovingly renovated, charming example of 1800s design is a 2-family, but has been most recently utilized and recognized as a large single family home with a 1st floor in-law apartment with separate entrance. Bathed in natural light, and renovated by the owners since 1992. 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths with flexible usage and floor plans, this truly special home was the house that art, love and hard work built. Both owners were and are local artists of note, C. Michael Lewis and Mary L. Hart. Michael's architectural knowledge is on full display through the home and Mary's love and dedication to the beauty of nature is reflected in the incredible garden that they mitigated and created whole-cloth. They reveled in this enchanting little garden haven and even kept chickens until 2024. Off-street tandem parking with the driveway, plans for a garage were drafted but not submitted. Abutting Pleasant Street Park and walkable to anything and everything that the Old Port affords, the location, amenities and possibilities are abundant and apparent, you have to see it for yourself! *Please submit offers by 12:00 noon Tuesday 8/19 with a response time of 12:00 noon the following day, Wednesday 8/20.*
