3 beds | 2 baths | 1,895 sq ft

If you’ve been searching for a live–work property in East Portland, Oregon, opportunities like this rarely come available — especially along the well-traveled corridor of Jenne Road.

This unique listing combines privacy, visibility, income potential, and flexibility — all on a flat, usable 1.1-acre parcel tucked just off the street.

Property Overview: Residential Comfort + Commercial Capability

Located in SE Portland near Jenne Rd, this property offers:

  • 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

  • Flat, fenced 1.1-acre lot

  • Large powered commercial shop

  • Private setting set back from the road

  • Room for equipment, vehicles, storage, or expansion

This is not your typical East Portland residential listing. It’s a hybrid asset — ideal for entrepreneurs, contractors, mechanics, light industrial users, hobbyists, or investors looking for mixed-use flexibility.

A beige single-story house with a dark roof sits behind a gated fence surrounded by green grass. Signs on the gate read "No Parking."

The Shop: Commercial-Ready & Income-Producing Potential

The large shop is fully wired and ready for business operations. Whether you:

  • Run a construction company

  • Operate an automotive business

  • Need warehouse/storage space

  • Want a creative studio or fabrication facility

    Garage interior with shelves, a ladder, and orange mower. Blue door leads to a small room. Overhead lights illuminate wooden beams.

This shop supports real revenue-generating activity.

Rental Potential:  Comparable commercial spaces in East Portland can command up to $4,500 per month, creating a powerful opportunity for:

  • Owner-operators who want to offset their mortgage

  • Investors seeking residential + commercial income

  • Business owners who want to eliminate commuting and lease costs

Live in the home. Lease the shop. Or operate both yourself.

The Land: 1.1 Acres of Flat, Fenced Usable Space

In Portland, flat acreage is valuable. Fully fenced land adds security and flexibility.

You gain:

  • Secure storage

  • Equipment parking

  • Expansion potential

  • Outdoor work area

  • Privacy from neighboring properties

Aerial view of a parking area with scattered cars, adjacent to a road, a grassy field, and a building with a gray roof, under clear skies.

This lot is protected and usable — not sloped, not fragmented, not wasted.

Centennial School District Advantage

The property is served by the respected Centennial School District in East Portland.

For families, this provides:

  • Strong community schools

  • Established local reputation

  • Accessibility to SE Portland amenities

For investors, school district desirability helps protect long-term property value and rental demand.
