Portland, OR 97217

Experience the character of this 1909 American Craftsman home, updated over time while retaining hallmark architectural details such as arched interior openings, picture rails, and multiple French doors. Situated on a southern exposure corner lot, the property benefits from uncommon spacing in this part of Portland, with neighboring homes set back more than 50 feet.The main residence offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, along with defined living and dining areas consistent with early century Craftsman design. Exterior updates—including later brickwork, cedar shake, and an enclosed porch—add to the home’s unique presence.A standout feature is the detached 624 sq. ft. permitted ADU, providing a separate living space with a kitchen, dining area, full bathroom, and laundry. Its size and layout support a range of uses, including rental income, extended stay guests, multigenerational living, or dedicated workspace needs.Outdoor spaces include a welcoming front porch and a private backyard. With its combination of a sizable main home and a substantial detached ADU, this is one of the few offerings of its kind currently available in North Portland.For buyers exploring long term flexibility, the property’s configuration may offer potential for future separation of the main home and ADU into individually sellable parcels, subject to city requirements, utility connections, and applicable fees.
