Don't let the grandmotherly pale yellow exterior fool you: Inside, it's a funky room-to-room palette of vibrant colors that some creative-type out there would truly love - and for whatever that creative-type creates, there's a private studio/shop in the backyard. Lots of options with this unique place: Fix it up into your dream, fix & flip, or redevelop the lot. The property is zoned RM1, which allows buildings to be up to 5,000 sq. ft. on this property (1:1 FAR/Floor Area Ratio). The City says: "The RM1 zone is a low-scale multi-dwelling zone applied around centers and corridors in locations near single-dwelling residential areas. Housing is generally characterized by 1-3 story buildings with front setbacks that relate to the patterns of residential neighborhoods. The types of new development include duplexes, rowhouses, courtyard housing and small apartment buildings." Buyer to do their own due diligence on land use. There has been much recent development/redevelopment on this property's block with the same zoning. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10233892]

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.
