Zoned RM2, this property offers opportunity for residential, investment, or live/work use, with a history of both private residence and home-based business. Filled with natural light, the home features hardwood floors throughout (oak on main, fir upstairs), original woodwork, and classic built-ins. The spacious layout includes 3 bedrooms—two oversized—plus a dedicated office or art space. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet, and a butler's pantry adds everyday convenience. Recent updates include: new interior paint (2026), new chimney (2026), sewer line replacement (2025), newer furnace and ductless system, updated kitchen appliances and an EV charger. Oil tank has been decommissioned. The home also has a strong short-term rental history, professionally managed and marketed across multiple platforms. A separate basement entrance opens the door to ADU, multi-generational living potential, or a spacious garden level workshop. Enjoy a large, private backyard, attic storage, and excellent walkability just moments from shops, dining, and the Multnomah Arts Center. A rare opportunity to own a versatile and character-rich property in one of Portland’s most beloved neighborhoods, just steps away from Multnomah Village.
