About This Home

An exceptional and nearly unheard-of opportunity in one of the most desirable areas of the city of Portland. Situated on just over 0.75 acres, this property at 1905 Congress Street offers immense potential for investors, developers, or those looking to renovate and hold.

Located in a quiet residential area, yet only minutes from the airport, I-95, and major retail corridors, the property features a 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath single-family home that could be renovated or removed to make way for new development.

New condominium construction is underway behind the lot, further enhancing the investment appeal.

This property presents an outstanding opportunity for renovation, redevelopment, or investment in a high-demand location.

***Buyer to verify zoning and development potential with the city.***
