Welcome to 265 State Street, an extraordinary historic townhouse that effortlessly combines historic elegance with modern comforts. Adorned with elaborate original moldings, tin ceilings, antique fixtures, and hardware, this is a classic showcase of Portland's rich heritage. Every single room is large and sunny and can be easily adapted or improved to suit your tastes and lifestyle. The modern kitchen makes entertaining easy with a sizeable copper-topped island, wet bar and Wolf range. Host a big dinner party in the formal dining room, take tea on the sweet sun porch off the dining room, or simply luxuriate in the primary suite's jetted tub and roomy walk-in shower - this home has something for everyone. The top floor offers a versatile bonus bedroom/office. With ample off-street parking in the driveway for up to four cars, parking will never be a concern - plus an electric charger is already in place! The basement also presents an opportunity for expansion, whether for additional living space or the creation of an income-generating unit. Detailed plans for an 800-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom accessory dwelling unit (ADU) were previously fully permitted by the City of Portland, offering potential for further customization and value enhancement. Located just a couple of blocks away, Deering Oaks Park, an Olmstead-designed green space, and the popular farmer's market are easily accessible, providing a serene escape and vibrant community experience. The nearby Arts District offers an array of cultural delights, including the First Friday Art Walk, cozy shows at One Longfellow Square, and lively free events in Congress Square. This is urban living at its finest!
