Property Description

Welcome to 1844 SE 12th Ave - a rare blend of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and unmatched flexibility. This 1910 Arts & Crafts home sits proudly in one of Portland's most iconic neighborhoods, offering over 4,100 square feet of elegant living space across four generous levels-with city views from nearly every floor. From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by original woodwork, built-ins, and timeless craftsmanship that instantly feels like home. The main floor features a spacious living room, formal dining room, a cozy study, and a kitchen with an attached pantry-perfect for daily living or entertaining with ease. The second floor includes four roomy bedrooms and two full bathrooms, while the entire top floor is dedicated to a dreamy primary suite with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a sitting area, and en suite bath-your private retreat with some of the home's best views.But what truly sets this home apart is the bright and beautifully finished lower-level ADU. With its own private entrance, full kitchen, laundry, bath, storage, and natural light throughout, it's ideal for multi-generational living, passive income via Airbnb or long-term rental, or a separate guest suite. It also connects seamlessly to the main home if you prefer to keep it all under one roof. Outside, the oversized lot offers a fenced backyard with zoned sprinkler system, alley access, and parking-an uncommon perk in this neighborhood. The home also comes with major updates that matter: seismic retrofit, metal shingle roof, updated PEX plumbing, newer high-efficiency furnace (2023). With stunning views, thoughtful spaces, and unbeatable location just blocks from local cafes, markets, restaurants, public gardens, and more-this is a home you can grow into, invest in, and truly love for years to come.
