About this home
Meet the Kerns neighborhood craftsman that decided one life wasn’t enough—so it became a duplex with twice the charm. Each 2 bed/1 bath unit shows off original hardwood floors, glowing natural light, and that unmistakable NE Portland energy. With fantastic tenants already in place, it’s a setup that makes investors smile and house hackers swoon. The shared backyard sanctuary is pure Portland with spots perfect for hammocks, and plenty of room to unwind. A full basement handles all the bikes, skis, kayaks, and gear your hobbies demand, while off street parking adds a rare dose of everyday convenience. All of this sits steps from Laurelhurst Park, coffee, craft beer, and the culinary magic of NE 28th and Burnside. A rare chance to snag a piece of Portland history with built in versatility—and a whole lot of personality—in one of the city’s most walkable neighborhoods.
Kerns, located between Burnside Street and SE Hawthorne Boulevard, is a walkable and design-forward Portland neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a strong food-and-drink scene. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around NE 28th Avenue and E Burnside Street, where sidewalk patios, chef-driven dining rooms, and small specialty storefronts keep the blocks busy. Local pillars include Laurelhurst Theater, Screen Door Eastside, and the Zipper building’s cluster of independent makers and studios. Tree-lined residential streets sit behind commercial corridors, mixing classic porches with crisp infill. Pocket parks and nearby Laurelhurst Park add green breaks between errands and evenings out. Bike lanes and frequent bus service stitch Kerns into the inner eastside grid.
