About this home
Some homes put you close to everything. This one lets you rise above it.Perched over the heart of SE Portland, sunsets and city lights spill across the view while Woodstock, Sellwood, Eastmoreland, parks, coffee, dining and transit are all just minutes away. Close the gate and the city fades a little. Your own tucked-away sanctuary, with Portland still right outside.Inside, the kitchen is the kind people linger inan oversized leathered-granite island, cooktop, stainless appliances and room for dinner to turn into drinks and drinks to turn into midnight. Oversized windows pull the light in, a gas fireplace warms things up, and the view deck practically demands a sunset.Upstairs, three bedrooms include a vaulted primary suite with Juliet balcony, dual closets and private bath. Downstairs? A separate entrance and a whole lot of possibilityguest suite, studio, office, future ADU, or the beginning of something bigger.Because here’s where this house gets interesting. CM1 mixed-use zoning. Coffee shop? Massage studio? Therapy practice? Creative workspace? Live upstairs, dream downstairs. Buyers to verify permitted uses with the City of Portland.Fully fenced with multiple decks, a private paver patio, mature landscaping, big garage and Level 2 EV charging.A little private. A little unexpected. And very Portland. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10185178]
Brentwood, located between SE 52nd Avenue and I-205, is a residential and industrial Portland neighborhood with modest mid-century houses and a working-warehouse edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around SE 52nd Avenue and SE Duke Street, where auto shops, small manufacturers, and corner markets set a practical, street-level rhythm. Cartlandia anchors the food-cart scene, while Portland Mercado adds a market-hall pulse nearby. Sidewalks thread past single-story ranch homes, duplexes, and newer infill on quiet blocks. Brentwood Park and the Springwater Corridor shape daily routines with fields, paths, and long bike rides. Light-rail stations along I-205 connect the area to the wider city without changing its grounded feel.

CM1
Commercial/Mixed Use 1 Zone
The Commercial/Mixed Use 1 (CM1) zone is a small-scale zone intended for sites in dispersed mixed use nodes within lower density residential areas, as well as on neighborhood corridors and at the edges of neighborhood centers, town centers and regional centers. The zone is also appropriate in core commercial areas of centers in locations where older commercial storefront buildings of 1 to 2 stories are predominant. This zone allows a mix of commercial and residential uses. The size of commercial uses is limited to minimize impacts on surrounding residential areas. Buildings in this zone will generally be up to three stories tall. Development is intended to be pedestrian-oriented and compatible with the scale and characteristics of adjacent residentially zoned areas or low-rise commercial areas.
