Reimagined Victorian! Step into the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern living in this beautifully updated 1894 Victorian, ideally located in the vibrant Clinton-Division neighborhood. Just blocks from some of Portland’s best restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and grocery stores, this home offers a walkable lifestyle in a dynamic community. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, pocket doors, and stained glass details, all lovingly preserved while seamlessly integrated with thoughtful updates. The spacious main level features a cook’s kitchen with quartz countertops, 6-burner gas range, and generous storage, flowing into a large dining room perfect for entertaining. A bright living room and full laundry room round out the main floor. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, supported by newer mini-splits and a heat pump system for efficient cooling. Both bathrooms and the kitchen have been fully remodeled with a clean, modern aesthetic. Updates include mostly newer plumbing and electrical, HVAC (approx. 7 years old), many new windows, and new water heater. Walls of greenery and landscaping create a sense of privacy in the home and the yard. Enjoy the outdoors in your large, fenced backyard—complete with a drip-irrigated garden, mature plantings, and private patio space to relax or BBQ and entertain. A curb-cut driveway offers rare off-street parking. Vintage Portland character meets easy, updated living - this home delivers! [Home Energy Score = 4.

RM2
Residential Multi-Dwelling 2 zone
The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
