Property Description

The historic Henry Homer House is a rare offering on Munjoy Hill. Set on a prominent corner lot in one of Portland's most coveted neighborhoods, this exceptional residence pairs timeless character with thoughtful updates and a level of flexibility seldom found on the peninsula. Behind its iconic white picket fence, the property offers something increasingly rare in Portland: a true front lawn, private backyard, newly constructed rear deck, and dedicated off street parking. Just blocks from the Eastern Promenade, East End Beach, award winning dining, and downtown Portland, the location places the very best of the city at your doorstep.Historic charm and craftsmanship have been carefully preserved throughout, complemented by a renovated kitchen, Farrow & Ball paint, and hardwired unlacquered brass sconces and switch plates designed to naturally patina over time. Significant improvements include updated electrical, a newer boiler and hot water heater, and a new TAMKO 50 year roof with transferable warranty.Configured as a four bedroom home with a private one bedroom suite, the property can also function as a true five bedroom residence. Complete with its own kitchen and full bath, the suite is ideal for guests, extended family, nanny or au pair accommodations, or income producing short term rental use. The space generated 60k in rental income last year, with future bookings through October transferable to the new owner if desired. Originally purchased as a two unit property and later converted to a single family, the property's zoning offers exceptional flexibility. Whether envisioned as a five bedroom home, multigenerational property, owner occupied income property, or a blend of uses, the possibilities are plentiful.Rich in history, thoughtfully updated, and uniquely versatile, the Henry Homer House represents a rare opportunity to own one of Munjoy Hill's most distinctive homes.
