Well cared for 3 unit in the heart of Portland! Many updates include newer windows, updated electrical, and spruced-up living spaces. First floor has concrete floors and great street presence, for a business opportunity. The second floor has 2 bedrooms and a private patio. The third floor has been opened up to a loft space with nice city views and great light! Tenants pay for heat, hot water, and electric. A nice find!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

B2B
Community Business District
To provide neighborhood and community retail, business and service establishments that are oriented to and built close to the street. The B-2b zone is suitable in areas where a more compact urban development pattern exists or where a neighborhood-compatible commercial district is established which exhibits a pedestrian scale and character. Such locations may include the peninsula and other arterials and intersections with an existing urban or neighborhood-oriented building pattern. The B-2b zone encourages mixed-use development, and provides locations for moderate to high-density housing in urban neighborhoods along arterials.
