Three bedrooms and a full bath upstairs create a classic layout, while the fully renovated third-floor attic—with skylight and roof deck access—offers inspiring space for work, creativity, or retreat (along with a fantastic view of the tram). Original floors have been beautifully refinished, bathrooms remodeled, roof newly replaced, electrical updated, and major systems refreshed, so you can simply move in and enjoy. A finished basement with high ceilings provides flexible space for storage, hobbies, and potential for more. Host dinners in the gracious dining room, gather in the living room, or spill out to the side covered deck on warm (or rainy!) evenings. Multigenerational neighborhood just moments from neighborhood cafes, river access, shops, and pedestrian connections to downtown, South Waterfront, and OHSU. 6 minute walk to OHSU tram for the easiest commute up the hill.
