Charming NE Portland duplex in the heart of the Multnomah/Lloyd District, offering both steady cash flow and an easy place to call home. Two spacious 3-bed/2-bath townhome-style units (approx. 1,200 sq. ft. each) feature in-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, full kitchens, and functional layouts that live like single-family homes. Six off-street paved parking spaces and a level 3,924 sq. ft. R2.5 lot provide rare convenience and future flexibility in a close-in location.Investors will appreciate the 100% occupancy, stable tenant base, and “as-is” leased fee valuation of $400,000, supported by professional appraisal, in a submarket with strong incomes and ongoing demand for multifamily housing. With no known deferred major capital items and average overall condition, this is a straightforward hold with room to push rents over time.Owner-occupants and house-hackers can live in one 3-bedroom unit and offset expenses with rent from the other, all while enjoying quick access to I-84, TriMet, Lloyd Center, Fred Meyer, Providence Medical Center, and downtown Portland. The walkable, amenity-rich neighborhood, city utilities, and legal conforming zoning that allows duplex, triplex, fourplex, and multi-dwelling structures make this a rare opportunity to own versatile housing in a prime close-in location.
Sullivan's Gulch, located between the Lloyd District and Hollywood, is a rail-corridor and hillside Portland neighborhood with a sunken freeway trench and pockety residential streets. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around NE Broadway & NE 28th Ave, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and late-night bites cluster under a steady stream of foot traffic. The Zipper anchors the area with a food hall feel, while The Hollywood Theatre and Laurelhurst Theater keep marquee lights on after dark. Early-20th-century bungalows and small apartment courts line the slopes above I-84. Bike routes and frequent transit stitch together parks, cafes, and corner markets. The gulch itself reads as a dramatic cut through the grid, shaping sound, views, and movement.
