Charming 1912 Home + Modern ADU in the Heart of Mt. Tabor.This one’s got it all: historic charm, thoughtful upgrades, a lush garden oasis, and a high-performing short-term rental built right in. Tucked into a quiet stretch of SE 54th Ave, just a few blocks from Mt. Tabor Park, this versatile property offers two full residences—each 776 square feet—with room to live, host, earn, and relax. The main house blends classic Portland character with smart modern upgrades. Original fir floors and trim, custom stained glass, and a plumbed gas fireplace anchor the home’s historic soul, while a sleek kitchen remodel (2022) and spa-inspired bathroom overhaul (2025) bring it firmly into the present. Behind the scenes, major systems have been updated for peace of mind—new foundation, electrical, plumbing, radiant floor heat, and more. The sunny front porch, private back deck (plumbed for a gas grill), and abundant attic storage add to the charm and practicality. Downstairs, a fully separate and beautifully finished ADU—constructed new in 2018—offers serious flexibility. Whether you keep it as a successful short-term rental (grossing around $40K/year), use it for multigenerational living, or claim it as your own retreat, it’s a stunner. Expect high-end European finishes, radiant slab heating, a cedar sauna, spa-style bath, and custom cabinetry throughout. Bonus: a cozy three-season room with French doors opens to the deck and mature, professionally landscaped garden. It’s the perfect perch for morning coffee, afternoon work calls, or evening wine with friends. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly move-in ready, income-generating property in one of Portland’s most desirable neighborhoods. Come take a look—you might not want to leave.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
