Perched above the street on a serene lot, this rare historic log cabin provides such a unique piece of Multnomah Village history, along with all the modern upgrades you desire. Thoughtfully updated to enhance the charm of the home, it includes a remodeled kitchen with stainless appliances, updated bathrooms, wood floors & beautiful wood trim, new roof & gutters in 2022, and a newer furnace too. With three bedrooms, and two full bathrooms the home provides comfort inside & plenty of room to spread out. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a spacious deck strung with lights and a cozy firepit area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining under the trees...and the catio to make sure the feline friends get their outdoor time too. Just minutes from downtown, this elevated retreat offers privacy, character, and comfort in one unique package.

RM1
C
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.
