Hidden away on a quiet, dead-end street in Portland's historic Lair Hill neighborhood, "The Lair" is one of the city's best-kept architectural secrets. Designed by acclaimed Portland architect Rick Potestio & built by renowned boutique builder Don Tankersley, this intimate 13-residence complex earned both the prestigious AIA Merit Award & Urban Land Institute Award for its modern design and exceptional craftsmanship. The striking exterior combines board-formed concrete, natural wood siding, expansive windows & lush, textural landscaping— all hallmarks of exceptional PNW modern design. This private, garden-level unit opens to its own covered paver patio overlooking impeccably maintained landscaping, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat just minutes from the hustle & bustle of the city. An adjacent exterior storage closet adds everyday functionality. Inside, warm contemporary finishes soften the clean architectural lines with walnut hardwood floors, an exposed concrete feature wall, floor-to-ceiling Pella windows, Ann Sacks & travertine tile, granite countertops & stainless steel appliances. The open-concept layout is filled with natural light, while a sliding door creates separation for the bedroom, complete with double closets & a spacious bathroom featuring a jetted tub. In-unit laundry & generous storage make the home as practical as it is beautiful! Low HOA dues of just $270/month cover water, sewer, trash & the beautifully maintained common grounds. Enjoy an urban lifestyle just blocks from: Downtown, OHSU, PSU, the VA Hospital, South Waterfront, Tilikum Crossing pedestrian bridge, parks, farmer's markets, neighborhood cafés, restaurants, shopping, MAX & the Willamette River. Quiet when you want it, connected when you need it- from your private patio to the very best of Portland, discover life at "The Lair"!

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.
