Situated on just under a quarter acre, this corner lot sits high above street level in the beautiful Cathedral Park neighborhood. Surrounding the property, the mature landscaping immediately impresses, providing privacy along with ample space for various outdoor activities, such as gardening or outdoor entertainment. The house, originally built in 1919, has undergone a significant amount of upgrades. Walking up to the front entry, you are greeted by a large covered front deck with expansive views of Forest Park and the Willamette River. Inside, the home has preserved a large amount of the original architectural elements, including vintage windows, hardwood floors, doors, and built-in features. High ceilings and natural light flood through the home at all levels, adding to its appeal. The floor plan offers seamless flow through the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen is excellent, featuring incredible upgrades with beautiful granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, expansive cabinet space, and a large window letting natural light into the kitchen. The bedroom on the main level has a large built-in with a Murphy bed, closet, and exterior entry, making it perfect for guests or as a permanent bedroom. Upstairs, two large bedrooms with walk-in closets, two full bathrooms, and a bonus room provide ample space for various bedroom arrangements. In the lower level, the unfinished basement has potential for additional finished space, whether for additional bedrooms, a laundry room, or bonus rooms. Currently, it includes built-in storage features, washer/dryer hookups, and extra storage space. In the backyard, enjoy the privacy of a large covered porch, a tool shed, and a fully fenced yard, complete with raised garden beds and a wide variety of mature fruit trees including apples, plums, figs, artichokes, and blueberry bushes. The home is in close proximity to St. John's, offering easy access to great restaurants, shops, schools, and other amenities.

RM2
D
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.
