Designed by famed architect John Calvin Stevens and his partner John Howard Stevens, the 1907 Nathan Clifford building in the Oakdale neighborhood of Portland offers the unique opportunity to live in one of Portland's thoughtfully renovated historical buildings. The 44,000 square foot yellow brick former elementary school houses 22 pet-friendly units, a large fully equipped fitness room, communal meeting space/library/lounge and two first- story lounge guest suites for use by residents. Filed with the National Register of Historic Places, the Classic Revival Structure is spacious and inviting with its wide hallways meandering stairways, high ceilings, elevators, storage and on-site parking. An outdoor patio, surrounded by perennial plantings, gas grill, furniture and a fountain salvaged from the original building make it ideal for barbecues, cocktail parties and other social gatherings. This third floor corner unit is light-filled with 15 foot ceilings, large energy efficient windows, hardwood floors and central air. The open concept creates a sense of space much larger than its 1400+ square feet. Three bedrooms, two full baths and the kitchen with cherry cabinets, stainless appliances and island combine to create a functional flow with wall space screaming for bookshelves and artwork. Near the center of Portland, fine restaurants, USM, coffee shops, the ball park, city parks, close to the train station and eight minutes from Portland International Jetport. Showings begin July 6th.
