Welcome to the Mississippi Neighborhood, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Portland, steeped in history and community. The location is amazing. Just steps away from Mississippi corridor. Dine and imbibe in the many restaurants, bars, and food carts. Support the thriving local shops along the way. This home, built in 1900, still reflects the style and history of the era, yet has been beautifully restored and updated for today. In 2019 the home was fully permitted for short-term rentals. This included safety upgrades required for egress, height standards, and electrical. This also allowed for 2 additional legal bedrooms upstairs and one in the basement, now boasting 5 bedrooms and 2 baths. Additional upgrades include replacing knob and tube wiring, adding high speed internet wiring, new flooring in bathrooms, restoring many window frames and doors, plus new water heater (2024). The open floor plan is great for entertaining which extends from the front parlor with pocket doors to the covered back deck with fully fenced yard. No need to hunt for parking in this vibrant "go-to" neighborhood. Enjoy two private gated off-street parking spots accessed from alleyway behind house. This could be your home in the heart of a historic neighborhood or an investment property with an incredible upside as a short term rental. Walk Score of 90 and Bike Score of 98!
