PORTLAND – Promenade Place, a 10-home, two-building property at the height of the scenic Eastern Prom, was completely renovated several years ago, and since then has very successfully offered luxury rentals that command the highest rates. This summer, the condominiums were listed for sale, and four quickly went under contract. At present, four units in building A, No. 234 (including the penthouse) are available; as are two units in building B, No. 236 (including the penthouse), at prices from $279,900 to $649,900, with the latter figure the list price of the penthouse units.

Priceless, on the other hand, are the Casco Bay views, the finest that Portland has to offer. And the home at the top of No. 234 Eastern Promenade is the perfect place to enjoy them.

Beneath a 12-foot ceiling, the main living area is open-concept, with water views from everywhere. On the south end, a full-view door accesses a private balcony, just outside a sitting area with corner gas fireplace and a shelf for television above it. To the rear, there’s an office/study with a double closet. The dining area is illuminated by a giant porthole window (a feature shared by each unit here).
Floors are oak; natural gas heat is radiant; central air is a plus, as are the ocean breezes. The gourmet kitchen has a double-door pantry; casement windows; gorgeous granite counters and curved island; wine cooler; and stainless, Viking Professional Series appliances, with dishwasher and refrigerator wood-faced to match the cherry cabinetry, much of which is fronted with frosted glass.

The master suite faces the water, naturally, and has shelving for entertainment equipment, a walk-in closet with built-ins and a bath with oversized jet soaking tub. The vanity is granite-topped, as is the vanity in the guest bath in the hall – note its lovely river rock flooring. Laundry is in an enclosure opposite; the good-sized second/guest bedroom is down the hall. Here, and in the master and the primary space, there are elevated storage areas.

In addition to stunning views, the Eastern Prom and Munjoy Hill provide the best of Portland city living. Recreational options include tennis courts across the street, and the East End trail and beach, where there are racks for kayak storage. Shops, restaurants, theater and more are a short stroll away.
