Looking for a cosmetic fixer with enough space and character to make the transformation worth it? This classic 1944 Cape Cod near the University of Portland offers 2,629 square feet, five bedrooms and two full baths across three finished levels—giving you an exceptional amount of room to work with. Wood floors run through much of the main and upper levels, while the living room features a wood-burning fireplace and the upstairs loft with built-ins adds flexible space for an office, reading room, studio or play area. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the possibilities even further with a large 14' x 26' family room, second fireplace, two bedrooms, full bath and laundry—ideal for guests, hobbies, work-from-home space or simply room to spread out. Outside, a level corner lot offers a patio, yard, driveway, RV parking and detached garage. A new roof was installed in 2026, the sewer line was replaced in 2014, and additional recent work includes interior and exterior paint improvements. Sold as-is and ready for cosmetic updates, this is an opportunity to take a character-filled North Portland home with substantial square footage and a versatile layout and make it entirely your own.
