About this property

Huge Historic Downtown Townhome

This meticulously restored mid-1800s townhome seemlessly blends historic charm with modern luxury. Enjoy an open-concept living space featuring a brand new fully equipped kitchen, completely remodeled bathrooms, and brand-new furnishings with hotel-quality bedding. Original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and exquisite wood finishes preserve the home’s timeless elegance. In the heart of the downtown historic district, an unforgettable Portland getaway awaits!

THE SPACE: Step outside and you are in the heart of downtown, on a wide and quiet historic street, brimming with architectural grandeur. Step through the historic doors and up the spiral staircase, and from the old world, you are immediately treated to breathtaking high ceilings, original heart pine floors, a stately 1600 square foot layout! This charm is subtly and expertly contrasted with tasteful touches of modernity, carefully curated. You`ll relax in style with ultra-comfortable hotel quality bedding to compliment your well appointed living space, featuring a blend of comfortable and new mid century style furnishings. Have work to do or entertainment to enjoy while you travel? This is one of the few homes in the Forest City equipped with lightening fast 1 gigabyte fiber wifi, which any gamer or work from home warrior will assure you is overkill for any residential use case imaginable. In the living room, enjoy a flatscreen Apple TV equipped with cable for your viewing pleasure. For foodies, on rare nights you won`t be going literally right down the street to one of several top restaurants (Chaval, Tandem Bakery, Cantina, and James Beard award Zu to name a few), venture right across the street again to Rosemont Market for same day unforgettable locally caught fish, oysters, Maine lobstah, farm fresh vegetables, and local ingredients, and cook away in the full kitchen equipped with everything one could need. A truly special Portland, Maine experience awaits.

Other Notes: Parking is street only. For stays longer than 2-weeks, our team will provide a weekly cleaning included in the price of the reservation. The home must be cleaned weekly by our team for reservations longer than 2-weeks.

Great Location

The location was great and we were able to walk to a lot of the restaurants. Cute house stairs can be a bit much if you are not used to them. The landlord was very accommodating. Thank you.

Easy as Pie!

From California, I put together a 21st birthday weekend in Portland for my daughter and five of her friends from Bates College. Tim, the manager, was communicative, helpful, and always available. The townhome is adorable, and the location is fantastic.

Family reunion in Portland

We enjoyed this very updated and clean home located in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to walk to grab coffee, drinks or a meal as well as walk to the busy wharf area for additional shopping and restaurants. Uber rides showed up quickly when we did not want to walk of if it was too rainy. The kitchen was modern and the living area was roomy enough for all of us. Each bedroom had it's own AC unit which was very helpful during an unexpected heatwave in early June. We highly recomment this home and its location.

I traveled with 3 people and stayed 2 nights at the place. Overall it was ok. The 3 bedrooms are situated on the third level, there is a bathroom on the second level and on the third. None of the rooms and bathrooms had a lock and the door of my room wouldn’t close.Place was not ready on time (4pm instead of 3pm) which I said ok to, happens... However, upon arrival these was no parking on site while the description of the place clearly said PARKING ON SITE which is why I booked that place over other with similar features. There was no parking on the street either. Upon contacting the host he pointed a space on the street near his house 2 blocks away. Frankly, that cause me a deal of stress because I want my car with me plus the place was not as described on the listing. Additionally, the sheets on my bed were wrinkled which is something I dislike and had never seen before. Looked like these weren’t changed. The dryer was full with sheets just left there.
