Tucked between Barbur Blvd and Corbett Ave, this 1884 home sits in a pocket just minutes from downtown Portland, OHSU, and South Waterfront. While the home is historic, it has been steadily updated over time—offering the best of both worlds: solid systems and a prime location. Inside, you'll find over 9' tall ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, an updated spacious kitchen with room to gather, and skylights that bring natural light into the primary suite. The home has two remodeled bathrooms—one on the main floor and one in the finished lower level, along with updated plumbing, flooring, and granite counters. The lower level offers flexible living options: great for multigenerational use, long-term guests, house hacking, or listing on Furnish Finder. The outdoor space is a standout, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Key updates include: Newer furnace, A/C, water heater. Energy-efficient windows with privacy glass. Full exterior paint, new gutters, and a new garage door. Backyard slate hardscape with improved drainage. Updated sewer line and city connection. Detached garage—rare for the area. Rebuilt porch with cedar ceiling, updated fascia, and custom cedar scallop siding. All the big-ticket updates are done—just move in! Loads of nearby restaurants, coffee, and parks. Minutes to OHSU, downtown + PDX Aiport.
