A rare opportunity to own one of Portland's classic American Foursquares, where original craftsmanship and stewardship have been honored for more than a century. Built in 1905, this 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence offers 4,040 square feet of architectural character & an exceptional collection of original details. The sunny south-facing home features soaring 10-foot ceilings, three original wood-burning fireplaces, Italian fireplace tile, a gracious front entry, butler's pantry, original fir woodwork, original wall sconces and pocket doors, and solid old-growth construction throughout. The current owners have preserved the home's architectural integrity while making improvements, including wood-clad double-hung windows on the second and third floors, a high-efficiency 96% gas furnace (2022), roof replacement (2023), refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and extensive restoration of original woodwork. Every improvement has respected the home's historic character. Lovingly cared for as a family home for more than 30 years, it has been filled with laughter, celebrations, and everyday moments that have become part of its story. Outside, the mature landscaping features a magnificent wisteria believed to be nearly a century old, a beautiful magnolia tree, flagstone pathways, basalt stonework, & gardens created over many years. The expansive covered front porch is quintessential Portland, while a custom rear wraparound porch extends the home's outdoor living space. A 55-foot driveway leads to the attached one-car garage, which provides direct basement access—a unique feature rarely found in homes of this era. The sunny finished third floor provides flexible living space & Mt. Hood views, while the unfinished full basement features an exterior entrance, abundant storage, & tremendous potential for future expansion. This authentic Portland classic has evolved thoughtfully over the past 120 years & offers a rare opportunity to become its next steward. [Home Energy Score = 1.

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.
