Sunny top-floor Parkside Victorian 2BR — yoga room, standing desk, parking

BRIGHT OASIS — PARKSIDE PORTLAND 2BR, TOP FLOOR, WALK TO OLD PORT

The top-floor 2-bedroom apartment in a Victorian 3-unit in Portland`s Parkside neighborhood. Sunny corner windows, tin ceilings, a fireplace mantle, and a private balcony. Five minutes` walk to downtown, 15–20 to the Old Port. Off-street parking included.

THE APARTMENT
Two bedrooms, both with queen memory-foam mattresses and plush linens. One full bathroom. Bright living room with original Victorian features (tin ceilings, columns, fireplace mantle, original moldings) and comfortable modern furniture. Smart TV. Dining for 4. Full kitchen with gas range, dishwasher, full-size fridge, coffee maker, kettle. In-unit washer and dryer.

THE BRIGHT FACTOR
Because the apartment is on the top floor with corner exposures, it catches more direct sunlight than the lower units. If you`re a morning-light person, this matters.

THE BALCONY
Private balcony off the front with a wooden table for 4 and two lounge chairs.

DEDICATED YOGA & WORK SPACES
A separate yoga/meditation/exercise room with mats, foam roller, and meditation cushions. Plus a large adjustable standing desk for remote work, set up with good lighting and monitor space. Genuinely workable for a 1–2 week working vacation.

OTHER
Eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products throughout. The owner`s cleaner uses these on every turnover.
