About This Home
Perched atop the historic 1867 Swasey & Co. building, this penthouse condo offers a unique opportunity to enjoy Portland from above. With the largest private deck in the building and sweeping views of the city, harbor, and peeking glimpses of Casco Bay, this is downtown Portland living at its finest. Inside, large windows flood the space with natural light, while cathedral ceilings and exposed beams add warmth and character. The bedroom overlooks Commercial Street, offering a front-row seat to Portland's waterfront activity. Upstairs, the loft provides flexible space for guests, a home office, or a cozy study or music room to unwind. The real highlight is the expansive deck. Whether you're starting your day with a cup of coffee, enjoying the sea breeze, or gathering with friends on a summer evening, this outdoor space is made for relaxing. Located in the heart of the Old Port, you'll be just steps from some of the city's best restaurants, shops, galleries, and waterfront attractions. If you've been looking for a low-maintenance city retreat with character and an unbeatable location, this penthouse is not to be missed.
