Description
Located at the intersection of suburban & urban, close & connected, potential & possibilities is a turn-key home that offers move-in ready quality and so much more. After a decade+ of ownership and countless hours of restoration and renovation the current owners took a once tired home and made it terrific. From the roof, siding and windows to the super efficient gas heat and room by room updates the historic charm is back and better. This is truly a house you can move into and enjoy day one - with...Located at the intersection of suburban & urban, close & connected, potential & possibilities is a turn-key home that offers move-in ready quality and so much more. After a decade+ of ownership and countless hours of restoration and renovation the current owners took a once tired home and made it terrific. From the roof, siding and windows to the super efficient gas heat and room by room updates the historic charm is back and better. This is truly a house you can move into and enjoy day one - with new paint, new appliances, re-finished floors, updated fixtures, a restored retro kitchen and more. Although the road out front is busy during the day the expansive back lot is remarkably peaceful and private day and night. Located in the desirable R5 zone this expansive .23 acre site packs an additional equity/potential punch - as you can add 2 more units. Add in a 1 car garage and a price that promises instant equity for one of Portland's best deals of '23. INVESTORS - lets do that math... Single Family + Ability to Build 2 units (all under $400K) = No Brainer. Private showings available.
