199 Vaughan Street, Unit 6Portland, ME 04102Sale Price: $650,000

You'll find stunning updates throughout this unit in an iconic West End brick building. This is more than move-in ready. It's luxe-life ready! Classic architecture, with bay windows, high ceilings, and handsome crown moldings, set the scene. The kitchen is updated with high end cabinetry and tile, and stainless steel appliances. The formal dining room retains its large, built-in china cabinet, as well as a bay window. The living room benefits from another bay window, along with a wood-burning fireplace--a rare find! The two full baths -- a great rarity in the West End -- offer top notch finishes in pristine condition. In one, find a frameless glass shower tiled with marble; in the other is a free-standing soaking tub. Three additional rooms offer flexible space for bedrooms, offices, guests, and hobbies. Hardwood floors stretch from end to end, and the unit terminates with a private, covered deck. This top floor location affords a number of benefits: The stairway is quiet; there's no noise from above; and best of all the back entry is private. This feature extends the living space all the way to the deck, inviting light and summer breezes from three sides. Recent improvements include Silhouette window blinds throughout, along with high performance Minka ceiling fans. A very large storage area in the basement easily accommodates kayaks, bicycles, and much more, in addition to a laundry area and utility sink. (Laundry could likely be relocated to within the unit if preferred.) 199 Vaughan St. stands at the heart of the architectural wonderland that is Portland's West End. Brick sidewalks weave among gorgeous Victorian homes, past neighborhood shops and restaurants, and to the stunning Western Promenade Park. Portland's storied Old Port is an easy walk away, and the airport and train station are nearby, as well. Private parking is included with this unit, and additional on-street parking is usually plentiful. A treasure like this doesn't appear every day!
