Built in 1864, No. 69 Atlantic Street Victorian is so enviably positioned it capures glimpses of Casco Bay from two different angles. It’s just a three-block stroll to views of Portland Harbor and Bug Light. Fancy the Eastern Promenade itself and its fireworks? On the second floor, if you crane your neck, you can see them above the rooftops toward the end of a street that cuts a sightline to the Prom. The dream has evolved from the white- picket-fence cravings to the metro intimacy of easy walks to Lolita, Hilltop Coffee Shop, the Munjoy Hill Neighborhood Associa- tion, and the Portland Observatory. There’s a sweet fenced-in back yard, and yes, to the left of the house, a narrow and precious driveway awaits your parking! “This is an estate,” says realtor Rita Yar- nold. “Sadly, the mother died in August. One of the siblings is living here now.” Not to profile, but this place is going to be snapped up by new owners, likely “in their thirties,” Yarnold says. “That crowd is interesting. There’s a split.” Some prospects just love the idea of restoring a house like this for their own use. Then there are the developers, in their thirties. I don’t like to use the word flip.” A third group “wouldn’t go for this at all. They have great jobs and need ‘move-in ready.’ Some are earning six figures, so they don’t have time for this.” Entering the generous foyer from the cov- ered porch, the pleasing proportions of the in- terior make visitors feel at home right away. Immediately to the right is the salon. Oppo- site the mantel, the big attraction is the grace- ful bay window surmounted by blind lu- nettes. All of the historical energy–the pres- ence of the house–seems to emanate from by Colin w. Sargent A tree grows on Atlantic Street. “The last surviving black walnut tree on the Hill” is in residence here.
