Nestled in the vibrant heart of Portland, and very near to OHSU, this Victorian tri-plex seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary updates. The exterior exemplifies Victorian charm boasting a gabled roof, gingerbread detailing, divided light window, and a front porch adorned with delicate spindlework  all showcased beautifully by a recent paint job. As you step into the shared entry, you’ll discover three distinct units, each occupying its own floor. Throughout, enjoy the luxury and practicality of hard surface floors, featuring original wood on the first and second levels and new laminate on the third, complemented by lofty ceilings and private balconies for every unit. The second and third floor units offer eastward views, with the third floor revealing the city and mountain on clear days. Recent enhancements extend beyond the exterior paint, including fresh white interiors, new water heaters, brand new electrical panel, upgraded heating and cooling systems, and reinforced deck railings and fire escape. The daylight basement serves as a practical hub for utilities, shared laundry, and additional storage. This well maintained tri-plex doesn’t just represent a good investment; it presents an excellent opportunity for the owner-occupant investor in search of a lifestyle in the heart of the city.
