About this home
Picture your mornings starting on the covered front porch of this North Tabor bungalow, coffee in hand, waving hello to neighbors. This is the kind of home where days unfold at an easy pace: a little time in the garden, a walk to grab breakfast, and then out to enjoy everything Portland has to offer. Step inside and the home feels bright and welcoming, with fresh hardwood floors, new windows, and updated baseboards bringing new life to the vintage character. The living room flows into a true dining room, while the connected kitchen means whoever’s cooking never misses the conversation. Two bedrooms make quiet retreats, and the full bath’s clawfoot tub is ready for a long, unhurried soak. Off the back, a charming sunroom is ready for rainy-day reading, potted seedlings, or simply a spot to shed muddy boots and raincoats after a Forest Park hike. The basement is a bonus waiting for your next chapter: a home office, a gym, a studio for creative projects, or a potential bedroom, plus laundry and storage to keep everyday life organized.Out back, new stairs lead from the sunroom down to a fully fenced yard. Plum trees, lavender, jasmine, and hummingbird-friendly plants set the scene for summer dinners under the open sky, lazy afternoons, and weekend projects sparked by trips to nearby Portland Nursery. Watch the garden shift with the seasons. The work has been thoughtfully done so you can focus on living: Rejuvenation light fixtures, new outlets and switches in the front rooms and basement, updated bathroom sink plumbing, concrete resurfacing along the foundation, and gutters installed last year. Looking for a little extra room to move? The seller also owns the adjacent vacant lot, which is available for purchase at an additional cost. [Home Energy Score = 3.

About North
Tabor
North Tabor, located between NE Glisan Street and NE Halsey Street, is a residential and walkable Portland neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a hillside setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the NE 60th Avenue and NE Glisan Street corner, where a small cluster of local storefronts and sidewalk comings-and-goings sets the tone. Early-20th-century bungalows and mid-century houses sit on gently rising streets, with frequent glimpses toward Mount Tabor’s forested slopes. Nearby, Mount Tabor Park frames daily routines with reservoirs, stair runs, and looping paths. Community pillars include The Zipper, Bellwether Bar, and The Observatory, each adding a distinct, local cadence to evenings out. Calm residential streets meet a steady pulse along Glisan and 60th, balancing quiet and city texture.

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.
