Tucked off Taylors Ferry on a shared drive, this classic 1940s mid-century home offers a private setting on an oversized .22-acre lot, surrounded by mature trees and refreshed landscaping. An expansive brick patio creates a welcoming outdoor space at the entry. Inside, refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint and abundant natural light highlight the home's timeless character including coved ceilings, arched openings and French doors that create a warm, inviting feel. The living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace and flows into the dining area with easy access to the backyard while a striking staircase with wrought iron balusters leads to the lower level. The updated kitchen features generous cabinetry, a farmhouse sink, gas range with stainless steel chimney-style hood and new Karndean luxury vinyl tile flooring with a marble-inspired finish. Three bedrooms and two updated bathrooms are located on the main level including a primary suite with an en-suite bath, walk-in shower and double vanity. The daylight lower level expands the living space with a large family room, second wood-burning fireplace and flexible space for a media room, home office or guest area, along with laundry and additional storage. The fully fenced backyard offers a peaceful retreat with multiple areas to relax or entertain, mature trees and a treehouse plus an attached two-car garage. A SW Portland location that puts Multnomah Village, parks and trails within easy reach, while still offering a sense of privacy and space. [Home Energy Score = 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.
