3954 N BORTHWICK AVE

Portland, OR 97227

Perched above the street in one of North Portland’s most beloved neighborhoods, this classic 1966 duplex is equal parts smart investment and feel-good living. Tucked behind mature landscaping with a peaceful, elevated presence, it offers a quiet retreat just blocks from the buzz of Historic Mississippi Ave and the Vancouver-Williams corridor. Each side-by-side 2 bed, 1 bath unit lives larger than you’d ever expect. Think cozy home vibes — not apartment energy. Spacious living rooms anchor the space, dedicated dining areas invite lingering dinners, and open kitchens create an easy, natural flow. There’s room for the oversized couch, the work-from-home desk, the record collection — or simply room to breathe. Thoughtful updates to kitchens, flooring, doors, and windows keep things fresh, while in-unit washers and dryers and generous closet space make everyday life wonderfully convenient. Step outside and you’ll find just enough private yard space for a grill, a garden box, or a sunny morning coffee. Alley access, off-street parking, and a private storage shed add that practical bonus buyers and tenants always appreciate. And then there’s the location! In spring, the neighborhood’s historic cherry blossoms — planted in the 1960s — turn the streets into a postcard. Unthank Park is just blocks away, and coffee shops, restaurants, and local favorites are waiting in every direction. Need groceries? New Seasons is around the corner. Commuting or heading out of town? I-5 access is a few blocks away. Whether you’re house-hacking, expanding your portfolio, or simply investing in a consistently sought-after pocket of North Portland, this duplex delivers immediate income potential with long-term upside. It’s not just a duplex — it’s flexibility, opportunity, and lifestyle all in one.Come see it for yourself.
