A very special, hard to find sized home, with an efficient layout and open floorplan to allow for entertaining. First time on the market and custom designed by architect Don Merkt and built by Green Gables Design. The result is a Coastal Cottage meets Modern Arts & Crafts. Light fixtures are sculptural art designed by the architect. This home has artisan touches with hand forged iron hardware by blacksmith Berkeley Tack. Abundant clear vertical grain fir woodwork throughout the home. New carpet in upstairs. The living room opens out to a level patio for container gardening and entertaining. 3 blocks to Forest Park and 3 blocks to NW 23rd Avenue! Pull up and unload the car directly into the house. It is possible to turn a car around at the top of the driveway with a little maneuvering. This home was inspired by Coastal cottages, Timberline Lodge, the Pacific NW and even has a little nautical vibe. One-of-a-kind home you don't want to miss! Open Sunday 3/17 11-1.

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.
