About this home
Opportunity awaits! Seller is willing to carry financing for 6 to 8 months or consider partnering to complete this amazing project in Portland’s quaint St. Johns. Bring new energy to provide housing density, affordable housing, and/or creative living space. Visions include co-housing, cooperative living, low-income or mission-oriented housing, PadSplit, or single-family home with ADU rental income. Sales price, and all data provided, is for a SINGLE townhome (8527 N Edison). See RMLS #789622051 regarding separate listing for sale of BOTH townhomes. Each home is 2,177 sq ft + 628 sq ft ADU, constructed as mirror images. Originally built in 2001, the homes are to-the-stud remodels with ADU structures added in 2019. Re-design was drafted by EMA Architects (2017), with eco-conscious quality construction by Birdsmouth. Eco-touches include Blue "Glo" windows and green roofs. Townhome is enclosed and weather protected (approximately 50% complete); needs interior and exterior finishing work + mechanical, electrical and plumbing.
Cathedral Park, located between St. Johns and the Willamette River, is a residential and riverside Portland neighborhood with a landmark bridge and a broad waterfront lawn. The neighborhood’s character concentrates under the Gothic arches of the St. Johns Bridge at Cathedral Park, where picnic blankets, dog walkers, and weekend events share the river breeze. Modest early-20th-century houses and small apartment courts line leafy streets that slope toward the water. The social calendar often points to Cathedral Park Jazz Festival, while nearby pillars like St. Johns Theater & Pub and Slim’s Restaurant & Bar anchor local nights out. A short climb leads to forested trails at Pier Park, adding a quiet, green counterpoint to the riverfront scene.

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.
