Property Description
Located in one of Portland's most convenient and walkable neighborhoods, just steps from Portland Foreside and the Old Port, 87 Newbury Street offers the rare combination of vibrant city living and peaceful residential charm. With an exceptional Walk Score of 87 and Bike Score of 89, nearly everything you need is right outside your door, from the waterfront and Eastern Promenade to nationally acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, and cafés. Enjoy all the energy of one of the country's most desirable small cities, then return home to a surprisingly quiet residential street tucked into the heart of it all. This fully renovated single-family home stands out in an area dominated by condominiums, many with similar finishes at nearly double the price, yet here you enjoy condo-quality or better craftsmanship without condo fees, shared walls, or association rules. Completely gut-renovated in 2018 from top to bottom, inside and out, the home offers worry-free living with modern systems, super-efficient mini-split heat pumps for heating and cooling, radiant tile floors in the bathrooms, and a rare level of fit and finish throughout. The first floor features an open-concept layout anchored by a high-end entertaining kitchen that flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, along with a three-quarter bath. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms and a spa-worthy full bath. The partially finished lower level provides laundry and flexible bonus space for storage, office, or fitness. Outside, enjoy two off-street parking spaces and an oversized garage or barn ideal for one to two vehicles, storage, or hobbies. Perfect as a full-time residence or lock-and-leave Portland pied-á-terre, this turnkey home offers efficiency, independence, and exceptional value in a highly desirable setting. Open House Sunday 10:00 to 12:00 with private showings available now and sellers reviewing offers as received.
