This property offers seven spacious apartments, including one efficiency unit, with strong rental appeal and long-term upside. Recent improvements include two new toilets, four new bathroom vanities, a new sink, a new refrigerator, and a new stove. All units feature keyless entry systems, providing added convenience for tenants and streamlined management for ownership. Solid brick construction contributes to low-maintenance ownership, while the property's desirable location continues to attract tenants seeking proximity to major employers, educational institutions, and Portland's restaurants, shops, and amenities. The property also includes four off-street parking spaces, generating an additional $4,800 in annual income. An opportunity to acquire a historic multifamily asset with strong fundamentals, additional income potential, and a proven location in one of Portland's most established rental corridors
