About This Home
In Portland's historic and highly desirable West End, 20 Tate Street offers the perfect blend of character, updates, and location. Just blocks from the Arts District, Old Port, and Harborview Memorial Park with its playgrounds and walking trails connecting to Portland's vibrant Commercial Street, this quiet one-way neighborhood is remarkably central yet feels tucked away. Local favorites like Smalls, Ocotillo, Ugly Duckling, and Zoo Bakery are just outside your door, giving the area a fun, eclectic, Brooklyn-meets-Somerville vibe. The nearly 200-year-old structure has been comprehensively updated inside and out without losing its soul. Both units are owner-occupant worthy with thoughtful layouts, exposed brick, rustic barn boards, restored hardwood floors, and modern kitchens and baths featuring high-end appliances and cabinetry. The systems are fully updated from the roof and siding to the wiring, plumbing, heating, and super-efficient boiler and AC. Utilities are separated, with hot water and electricity paid by tenants. The first-floor unit is vacant and offers two bedrooms, one bath, an updated kitchen, living room, and direct access to the private courtyard. The backyard is an oasis with a pizza oven, grape arbor, and a European feel reminiscent of Tuscany or the South of France. The second and third floors combine to offer two to three bedrooms and two full baths with in-unit laundry. Both units live larger than their footprint, making this an ideal condo alternative, first single-family, or multi-family home/investment. The second-floor lease expires at the end of September, creating the perfect opportunity for owner-occupancy or mixed-generation living. There are also two off-street parking spaces. Truly turnkey, this is one of the most affordable, stylish, and updated multi-families available in Portland.
