View ListingTucked into Portland’s Creston-Kenilworth neighborhood, this one’s got range. Equal parts classic bungalow charm and savvy income-producing opportunity, this versatile property pairs a sunny 2BR/1BA main home with a permitted lower-level ADU studio—all just moments from neighborhood parks, local cafés, popular dining, transit, and the everyday perks that make close-in SE living so appealing.
Step into the main home and you’ll find all the character you’re hoping for: freshly updated hardwood floors, a light-filled living room, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace that anchors the space. Mini split cooling keeps things comfortable year-round, while the thoughtful layout makes everyday living easy. Downstairs, the permitted studio ADU offers a well-appointed full bath and serious flexibility. Whether you’re looking for supplemental rental income, a guest retreat, work-from-home separation, or multigenerational living potential, this space is ready to adapt. Both living spaces include separate washer and dryer access, adding convenience and independence for day-to-day living. Outside, a fully fenced yard offers room to relax, garden, or entertain, while the long driveway and detached two-car garage provide plenty of off-street parking and storage.
Live in the main home and let the ADU help offset ownership costs, create space for extended living, or add a strong-performing asset to your portfolio. With commercial zoning, a history of long-term tenancy, and an estimated 5.5% cap rate, this is flexibility at its finest.

A rare close-in SE opportunity with classic character, built-in versatility, and income potential to match.
