Investment opportunity in the heart of Kerns, one of Portland's most vibrant and highly sought-after neighborhoods! This classic 1940s side-by-side duplex offers two light-filled one-bedroom, one-bath units, each with fresh interior paint, an unfinished basement and individual tuck-under garage-plus plenty of potential to add value over time. Newly refinished hardwood floors in unit 315 add to the appeal, while a new roof in 2025, plus new hot water heaters and a new furnace in 2026, provide added peace of mind. This duplex is just moments from the shops, restaurants, and local favorites of NE 28th and the surrounding hubs-including Whole Foods Market, Laurelhurst Theater, Providore Fine Foods, Screen Door, and so much more-while tucked away on a peaceful residential block with established landscaping. Outside, a lovely private side yard with mature trees and plantings offers ample space for gardening, with existing garden boxes and plenty of room to make the outdoor space your own. Both units were previously occupied by long-term tenants, offering an investor the opportunity to consider future rental upside. With its desirable close-in location, individual garages and basements, 305-315 NE 26th Ave offers the chance to build long-term value and equity in a neighborhood with enduring appeal.
