SF in PDX! Complete with original features, such as a cupula, stained glass and wooden ornamentation, the freshly painted exterior entices with colors selected by renowned San Franciso Victorian color expert, Bob Buckter. The interior struts its high ceilings, open staircase, clawfoot tub, wood floors, original hardware and rays of colored light as the sun dances through the stained glass details. Don't miss the treetop view from the polygonal turret with pyramidal roof in the front bedroom, an extraordinary place to draw and paint, or pen poetry or prose! Enjoy the comforts of the modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, vintage style half bath (added in '09), mini splits that provide AC upstairs, seismic upgrades and many recent updates including the roof, garage doors, fencing and interior paint. The unfinished lower level has above ground bayed windows, offering plenty of possibilities for your home fermentorium, potters wheel or serious storage. The tuck under garage space is ideal for bikes and kayaks, plus laundry. All appliances are included. Off-street parking and a yard, woo-hoo! As the bedroom community of East Portland merged with the City of Portland and Ladd's Addition was converted from farmland to a residential neighborhood, this Queen Anne Victorian was built to stand the test of time! Like its original Horse Chestnut trees, which provide a lush and leafy canopy, this handsome 1880s era home is ready for its next one hundred plus years. As the proposed OMSI District develops nearby, the proud owner of this treasured piece of historic artistry will be in the catbird seat! Or, fulfill your development dreams - an approved land use review allows for a commercial building next to the house and IG1 zoning provides rare flexibility. Bikescore 100! Hosford-Abernethy location about a ¼ mile to both Hawthorne and Division and their abundant array of shops and eateries! A smart investment that is a joy to call home. [Home Energy Score = 3.

This nicely updated Victorian era home is close in on Portland south east side. The entryway leads left into the front facing living room, or back into the dining room. The kitchen and a half bath, plus basement and side yard access are also in back....
Upstairs is a full bath in back, and three bedrooms, all of which have space for queen sized beds, at least.

IG1
General Industrial 1 Zones
The General Industrial zones are two of the three zones that implement the Industrial Sanctuary map designation of the Comprehensive Plan. The zones provide areas where most industrial uses may locate, while other uses are restricted to prevent potential conflicts and to preserve land for industry. The development standards for each zone are intended to allow new development which is similar in character to existing development. The intent is to promote viable and attractive industrial areas.; IG1 areas generally have smaller lots and a grid block pattern. The area is mostly developed, with sites having high building coverages and buildings which are usually close to the street. IG1 areas tend to be the City's older industrial areas.
Permitted uses

Automotive repair garage
