The sellers bought this North Tabor home less than a year ago and poured love (and money) into making it their forever home - new roof, electrical panel upgrade, tankless water heater, full kitchen and main bathroom remodels, gas fireplace insert, washer & dryer, carport, front and back retaining walls with turf, a paver patio and covered deck, a hot tub, and a shed. Then life had other plans, and a move out of the area means you get to enjoy everything they built without lifting a finger. This home is just the right size, with all the conveniences you need including an attached garage plus carport for all your gear, central AC for those hot Portland Summers, and a main-level bedroom and full bath for easy living. Refinished hardwood floors and picture windows make the living room warm, bright, and welcoming, while a new gas fireplace insert with original burgundy tile brings the cozy factor. The kitchen comes stocked with brand-new stainless steel appliances and a window overlooking the large, recently transformed backyard. Downstairs, a third bedroom with an attached office or bonus room gives you flex space, plus a full bath and a laundry area with new appliances and room to spare. The adjacent utility room is loaded with cabinets to keep clutter off the floor, and with its high ceilings and clean, dry conditions, the whole basement is ready for whatever you dream up next. There's room for multiple cars in the driveway, including under the brand-new carport, so the garage is free for whatever your life calls for. Located in North Tabor, you're just two blocks from QFC and the Tabor Tavern, and minutes from Fred Meyer, Providence Hospital, and Mt. Tabor Park - because the good stuff should be close by!

OPEN SAT 11-3, SUN 12-2. This is the home you've been waiting for! Just the right size and with the conveniences you need- attached garage, central AC, dishwasher, and bedroom and full bath with new $7K walk-in shower on the main level. Gleaming, newly refinished hardwoods paired with large windows make the living room warm, bright and welcoming. A woodburning fireplace with mantle add to the coziness factor. The spacious area has plenty of room for guests to gather, and there is a coat closet in the foyer to keep the space tidy. New paint throughout is a blank canvas for art and decor. Central air conditioning will keep the home comfortable until autumn arrives and fireplace season begins. The kitchen is equipped with a brand new SS dishwasher, and a window overlooking the large back yard. Both upstairs bedrooms and the hallway have lovely vintage light fixtures. Downstairs, there is a large area with laundry hookups, allowing plenty of room for cabinets, shelves, and hanging space for wash day. A full bath with shower stall and non-conforming third bedroom with attached den/office space is perfect for guests or teens who prefer a little privacy. The adjacent storage room has tons of storage cabinets to keep things off the floor. The clean, dry space has high ceilings so could be finished into a large family or media room. There is room for multiple cars in the driveway, so the garage could be converted into additional living quarters. Substantial, private back yard is a possible space for a detached ADU (Buyer to do due diligence).This North Tabor home is conveniently located 2 blocks from QFC, the Tabor Tavern, and just minutes to Fred Meyer on Glisan, Providence Hospital, and Mt Tabor Park. This home is move-in ready so you can get settled before the holidays.

RM2
Residential Multi-Dwelling 2 zone
The RM2 zone is a medium-scale multi-dwelling zone that is generally applied in and around a variety of centers and corridors that are well-served by transit. Allowed housing is characterized by buildings of up to three or four stories with a higher percentage of building coverage than in the RM1 zone, while still providing opportunities for landscaping and outdoor spaces that integrate with residential neighborhood characteristics. The major types of new housing development will be a diverse range of multi-dwelling structures and other compact housing that contribute to the intended urban scale of centers and corridors, while providing transitions in scale and characteristics to lower-scale residential neighborhoods.
