About this home
Welcome to 1538 Congress Street, a spacious two-family property offering an ideal combination of historic charm, modern updates, and a convenient Portland location. Built in 1910, this well-maintained multi-unit retains many of its original period details, including charming built-ins in the dining rooms, while fully renovated kitchens and bathrooms bring a fresh, updated feel to both units. Additional improvements include a new boiler and oil tank, upgraded electrical, and new windows on the second floor and attic.
Each unit offers three bedrooms and one full bath, with bright, sunny interiors and generously sized rooms throughout. Unit 1 is currently occupied and features a private back porch, while the vacant second-floor unit includes a sunroom and presents an excellent opportunity for an owner-occupant looking to offset their mortgage with rental income.
Whether you're searching for a smart addition to your investment portfolio or the opportunity to live in one unit while generating income from the other, this property offers plenty of flexibility. Conveniently located close to downtown Portland, the Portland International Jetport, shopping, dining, major commuter routes, and everyday amenities, 1538 Congress Street puts the best of Portland within easy reach....
