Meet the Kerns neighborhood craftsman that decided one life wasn’t enough—so it became a duplex with twice the charm. Each 2 bed/1 bath unit shows off original hardwood floors, glowing natural light, and that unmistakable NE Portland energy. With fantastic tenants already in place, it’s a setup that makes investors smile and house hackers swoon. The shared backyard sanctuary is pure Portland with spots perfect for hammocks, and plenty of room to unwind. A full basement handles all the bikes, skis, kayaks, and gear your hobbies demand, while off street parking adds a rare dose of everyday convenience. All of this sits steps from Laurelhurst Park, coffee, craft beer, and the culinary magic of NE 28th and Burnside. A rare chance to snag a piece of Portland history with built in versatility—and a whole lot of personality—in one of the city’s most walkable neighborhoods.
