Beautiful Building for Sale on Munjoy Hill, Portland Maine


BB's father is selling a 3-possibly-4 unit building he has owned forever and maintained to an extraordinarily high standard. It's an exceptional site, with wide views of the harbor, and it's on Munjoy Hill--maybe the hottest of Portland, Maine neighborhoods and still perhaps the last great, affordable, urban waterfront 'hood left in the northeast.
If you are Autoliterate--(and anyone can become autoliterate by subscribing to the blog: we aim to steal the aesthetic discourse away from university departments & art museums and apply it to large vernacular everyday things: streets, highways, landscapes, neighborhoods and, yes, old trucks)--then you know that we have posted a lot on Munjoy Hill. There is a great mix of architecture up there, a small herd of wonderful restaurants (like Lolita,  and, of all Portland's neighborhoods, MJH is most open to ocean air and ocean light.
