Like‑New NE Portland Craftsman: 4‑BR Home + Income‑Producing ADU
This well‑crafted 2018 Craftsman offers an uncommon combination: a spacious modern main residence plus a fully finished street‑level 1‑bed ADU with its own address designation. The main home is detailed with hardwood floors, a welcoming fireplace, and an open designer kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, a farmhouse sink and stainless appliances. Just off the kitchen, an enclosed sunroom expands usable living space and provides a quiet spot for a home office or casual dining.
Upstairs the primary suite is intentionally generous — a spa‑inspired shower and a large walk‑in closet create a private retreat. Four bedrooms in the main residence provide flexible layouts for children, guests or a dedicated office. At street level, Unit B is a self‑contained 1‑bed / 1‑bath ADU with a full kitchen and in‑unit washer/dryer — ideal for rental income, long‑term guests, or multi‑generational living.
The property’s compact lot (approximately 2,178 SF) and like‑new systems make for low maintenance city living. With no garage, residents typically use on‑street parking and enjoy immediate pedestrian access to the Alberta Arts District, Mississippi Avenue and N Williams — restaurants, coffee, galleries and groceries are a short walk away. Redfin notes a Walk Score of 94 and Bike Score of 100, underscoring the location’s convenience.
Whether you’re seeking an owner‑occupier setup that helps offset carrying costs, or an investor targeting stable long‑term income, this home delivers flexibility and quality in one of NE Portland’s most desirable corridors.

A factual market snapshot around 3515 NE Rodney Ave Unit A.
Inner NE Portland — especially the Alberta Arts and Mississippi/Williams corridors — continues to attract buyers who prioritize walkability, neighborhood character and access to independent retail and dining. Inventory in these micro‑neighborhoods typically runs below the metro average, producing faster sales cycles and price premiums for turnkey homes. Median sale prices in comparable inner NE pockets have been moderate but steady, with 1–3% year‑over‑year appreciation recently and stronger 5‑year gains (~10–15%). Homes with legal ADUs command heightened interest because they offer immediate cashflow or mortgage offset possibilities. For active buyers, this property sits squarely in a seller‑favored niche: move‑in ready, modern finishes, and an ADU to broaden buyer options.
Low to medium density residential zone that allows primary dwelling + ADU and limited multi‑unit development under Portland zoning rules.
