海の近くの望ましいMunjoy Hill近所のまれな、一戸建て住宅

We are a married couple who met in 1997 at the University of Southern Maine. Lynn is a Political Scientist and Lee is an Environmental Scientist. We purchased 10 Emerson St in 2002 when it was in very poor condition. Lynn saw the potential in the house and led the gradual renovation and restoration of the charm of this classic New Englander. Lee has worked in New Jersey since 2002, commuting up to Maine at weekends to be with the family. We love the house and Munjoy Hill. The house is now being offered as a vacation rental because Lynn has accepted a job in New Jersey, so we are relocating our primary home to be together and to get free of the commute. Our 11-year-old daughter, Rowan, loves this house and is very sad to leave, but accepts that this is the chance for our family to be together full time. We will miss the walks with our dog by the ocean, the beautiful sun rises and sun sets, the fantastic food, the arts scene, the great neighborhood and the people that make this an amazing place to live.

Lynn loves combining old with new and Lee is British and wanted a house with some history and in a colorful neighborhood. 10 Emerson St fits the bill perfectly and provided us access to the things we value in life: natural beauty, historic charm, walkable neighborhood, excellent restaurants, and diversity. The house was a huge amount of work for us at first, but we slowly gathered steam on the project and ended up completely renovating every inch of the house and the yard. It is perfectly situated on Munjoy Hill, being just 2 blocks from the Eastern Promenade and all its activities and beauty and a stone's throw away from the central row of restaurants, organic food market, performing arts theater and coffee shop. We can walk to the Old Port and Downtown in 15 minutes. With 10 Emerson St, we saw a unique opportunity to raise our daughter with direct access to so much in a beautiful and safe neighborhood.

This is an incredibly safe, highly desirable neighborhood with access to restaurants, theater, parks and the waterfront. This is the funkiest, most desirable, pedestrian friendly, low traffic and highly scenic part of Portland. Despite its popularity, this a quiet neighborhood. The Eastern Promenade provides access to miles of walking/cycling paths, where you get panoramic views over Casco Bay and opportunities for spotting wildlife, including Osprey, Bald Eagles and seals. Three excellent Portland restaurants are just around the corner from the house, along with a natural foods store and the St. Lawrence Performing Arts Center.
