Welcome to a rare find in Portland's beloved Deering Center on the aptly named Pleasant Avenue. This recently updated condo brings you right into the heart of one of the city's most neighborly and walkable pockets—where sidewalks along charming tree-lined streets lead to Noble BBQ, Norimoto Bakery, Pat's Meat Market, Rambler Cafe, parks, trails, and smiling neighbors. When you need more urban big box conveniences, the Forest Avenue corridor to the rest of Portland is easily nearby.
Inside, you'll find loads of character in the high ceilings and period mantle and trim, combined with modern charms like newer custom solid wood kitchen cabinets, newer appliances, new flooring, and fresh paint throughout. A new boiler, new roof, recently repaved driveway, recent hardscaping, fuss free siding, and the very low condo fee keeps ownership simple and affordable on your budget over time.
There's even a deeded parking space, though you may not need it often in this highly walkable neighborhood.
For those who want Portland living with less maintenance—and all the character of Deering Center just outside your door—this condo is your opportunity.
