5232 SE Malden St, Portland

Some homes put you close to everything. This one lets you rise above it.Perched over the heart of SE Portland, sunsets and city lights spill across the view while Woodstock, Sellwood, Eastmoreland, parks, coffee, dining and transit are all just minutes away. Close the gate and the city fades a little. Your own tucked-away sanctuary, with Portland still right outside.Inside, the kitchen is the kind people linger in—an oversized leathered-granite island, cooktop, stainless appliances and room for dinner to turn into drinks and drinks to turn into midnight. Oversized windows pull the light in, a gas fireplace warms things up, and the view deck practically demands a sunset.Upstairs, three bedrooms include a vaulted primary suite with Juliet balcony, dual closets and private bath. Downstairs? A separate entrance and a whole lot of possibility—guest suite, studio, office, future ADU, or the beginning of something bigger.Because here’s where this house gets interesting. CM1 mixed-use zoning. Coffee shop? Massage studio? Therapy practice? Creative workspace? Live upstairs, dream downstairs. Buyers to verify permitted uses with the City of Portland.Fully fenced with multiple decks, a private paver patio, mature landscaping, big garage and Level 2 EV charging.A little private. A little unexpected. And very Portland. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10185178]
