$1M luxury upgrade planned for historic inn
The historic Danforth Inn in Portland will undergo a $1 million upgrade in an effort to reach a luxury-minded customer, the new owners said.
The Portland Press Herald reported that Raymond Brunyanszki and Oscar Verest, owners of the high-end Camden Harbour Inn, bought the 1823 Federal-style Danforth for $2.4 million last week. The inn wasn’t on the market, but its seller, Kimberly Swan, of The Swan Agency Sotheby’s International Realty in Bar Harbor, had accepted the offer.
The owners plan to make small upgrades over the summer, then start a major renovation, including the addition of an upscale restaurant, in the offseason.
Brunyanszki told the PPH they purchased the inn after a two-year search for a Portland property. They wanted a small, luxury inn that could accommodate the upscale customers they serve at the Camden Harbour Inn.
“We were looking for a similar product and we felt that the super high-end niche we are accommodating was not represented yet in the Portland market,” he told the newspaper, “and so we felt maybe it was better if we would find a property and do it ourselves and so create more synergy between the two markets.”
