This cute Victorian home is just a few blocks from the heart of the Alberta arts District! The entry vestibule leads left into the formal living room, and then back into the formal dining room, followed Lesly by the kitchen. Two bedrooms are on the...
right side of the home, and the one in back shares a bathroom with the rest of the house. Lots of bonus space and two bedrooms in the basement, plus a full bath.

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.
