About this home

Meet Mighty May — Mighty, and Full of Possibility! Welcome to Mighty May—a charming one-level ranch that proves good things come in small, bold packages. Set on a sunny corner lot above I-5, just minutes from OHSU, the South Waterfront, I-84, and the Westside, this home is as practical as she is full of potential. With 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, and a blank-canvas basement, she’s perfect for first-time buyers, project lovers, or anyone craving a home with heart, character, and room to grow. She’s Got the Look Freshly dressed with newer exterior paint, new gutters, and a newer roof, Mighty May is already ahead of the curve. From the street, she’s sweet and inviting—with just the right amount of curb appeal. Her corner lot gives her a little extra breathing room. Inside: Light, Cozy, Easy Living The layout is simple and smart. A light-filled living room, a functional vintage kitchen, and two sunlit bedrooms give you everything you need—and nothing you don’t. The full bath is clean and classic, with room for updates when you’re ready. Every inch is thoughtfully laid out, and single-level living makes life easy and efficient. Below: Bonus Space with Big Potential Downstairs, an unfinished basement adds serious value. Workshop, creative space, gym, or future finished square footage—the choice is yours. It’s ready for your vision and packed with potential. And don't forget the detached garage—a perfect workshop, gear hub, or storage zone for all your tools, bikes, and hobbies. Open Book = No Surprises Mighty May is transparent and ready. Previous inspection work has been completed, giving you a clear view of where she stands—and where you can take her next. She’s a solid investment with opportunity to build equity and make her your own. Location = Yes, Please Tucked just above the 5 freeway, Mighty May offers quick access to downtown, OHSU, and the Westside—without the chaos. Whether you're commuting or staying cozy at home [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10073224]

This 1949 home appears to be very solidly built, with a cute built-in bench in the breakfast nook in the kitchen. Two bedrooms in back of the home are separated by a full bath.

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.
