Original charm, character and thoughtful updates complement comfortable, uncomplicated living both inside and out. Natural light showers a flexible floor plan that supports any variation of one’s personal living needs. Well-proportioned bedrooms (one with French-doors that extend the indoors, out) envelope the main-floor bath. The upper level provides a blank slate ideal for additional living space or storage. Ascend to the lower level where a primary ensuite bedroom with a walk-in closet (that rivals all walk-in closets) ensures a serene respite. All created with ease and functionality in mind. The expansive back yard is perfect for gatherings or quiet coffee breaks around the outdoor fire place. Walk. Shop. Live. Welcome home, just in time for spring! [Home Energy Score = 3.

Great curb appeal. Street noise is not noticeable from the interior, but slightly from the backyard. Converted attic has a nice amount of space. Wonderful period piece charm throughout.

RM1
Residential Multi-Dwelling 1 Zone
The RM1 zone is a low-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in locations intended to provide a transition in scale to single-dwelling residential areas, such as the edges of mixed-use centers and civic corridors, and along or near neighborhood corridors. Allowed housing is characterized by one to three story buildings that relate to the patterns of residential neighborhoods, but at a somewhat larger scale and building coverage than allowed in the single-dwelling zones. The major types of new development will be duplexes, triplexes, rowhouses, courtyard housing, small apartment buildings, and other relatively small-scale multi-dwelling and small-lot housing types that are compatible with the characteristics of Portland's residential neighborhoods.
