Unfurnished 2 Bedroom Apt. available soon on Munjoy Hill! - apts/housing for rent - apartment rent - craigslist (2024)

FEATURES:
Old World features abound throughout the unique, well-kempt space. Originally built in 1883 (The Horace Hallett House), this fully renovated apartment is included on the Munjoy Hill Historic Registry, and now offers the best of BOTH worlds -- vaulted ceilings, skylights, ceiling fans, crown molding and wood trim, hardwood floors, vintage stained glass, dual-paned windows, numerous built-in bookshelves and closets, renovated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances (gas stove, big refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, microwave oven, garbage disposal), well lit bathroom with bathtub/shower and transoms and privacy glass, heat pump in unit (both heats AND cools!), in-unit washer and dryer in dedicated laundry/mud room, private third floor deck with views ... the list goes on! The 1,500 total square feet space spans all of the third floor, and even parts of the second floor, too, with mud rooms at both front and back doors (below the main living space). Year-round dedicated off-street parking is included with this apartment. Basem*nt storage for bikes/outdoor sports equipment is available. The perfect space for quiet professionals, or those working from home in the new post-pandemic era. (And the other two long term tenants at 28 North are lovely, quiet professionals, too!)

MUNJOY HILL NEIGHBORHOOD:
All of Munjoy Hill's renowned neighborhood attractions are just steps away -- restaurants and bakeries and coffee houses and pubs, neighborhood markets, Portland Observatory, St. Lawrence Arts Center, Fort Sumner Park (amazing sunsets!), North Street Community Garden, etc. Stroll down to the ocean and all the Eastern Promenade's outdoor glory -- epic Casco Bay views, East End Beach, public boat ramp, sailing and kayaking, tennis and pickle ball courts, softball, basketball, walking/riding trails, food trucks, etc.

PORTLAND PENINSULA:
Just an easy walk down The Hill is the trendy Washington Ave "Restaurant Row" and Bayside Neighborhood with restaurants, micro-breweries, arts venues, health clubs, etc. Keep on strolling down the hill into the Old Port and all of downtown's amenities -- charming cobblestone streets, restaurants and pubs, theaters and music venues, health clubs, minor league professional sports venues (Pirates, Celtics, Sea Dogs, Hearts of Pine), Deering Oaks Park, Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's, WEX headquarters, Univ. of Maine Law School (Old Port), Portland City Hall and courthouses (downtown), both campuses of Northeastern U.'s Roux Institute (Old Port and Bean Factory), MaineMed and other peninsula medical facilities, etc. Everything that makes Portland Portland is close ... but not TOO close!

TRANSPORTATION:
Public transpo options abound -- Uber/Lyft, local bus lines, Portland Ferry Terminal to all Casco Bay Islands, etc. Nearby are I-295, DownEaster train/bus station to Boston and Logan Airport (BOS), and Portland Jetport (PWM). (But good news, we're not in any PWM flight paths like the West End, so still very peaceful on Munjoy Hill!)
