Ariel view of the entire home, which includes owners' unit, a MIL Suite, Carriage House, 2 garages, and a gorgeous backyard oasis.
Spacious living room. Great condition hardwood floors, neutral paint colors.
Second angle of living room, showing off main entrance, coat closet, and bonus entryway storage for seasonal items.
Dining room. Full kitchen is off to the left. If you're a plant-parent, this is a dream come true. So much natural light, which can easily be modified with blinds or curtains. Gorgeous unobstructed view of the backyard oasis and pond + waterfall feature.
Bedroom. Plenty of space to accommodate a king bed, plus dresser, small desk, walking pad, and anything else you might need in your room. Another unobstructed view of the backyard oasis, so you can fall asleep to the sounds of the waterfall on warm nights
Second angle of the bedroom, showing floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows. Best views in the neighborhood. Door walks into the living room.
Full Kitchen, including stainless steel dishwasher, electric stove/oven, and full fridge. Boasting more storage than most kitchens twice this size, again with natural light flooding in from the south. No vitamin-D deficiencies in this apartment!
A second view of the kitchen, showing off the stovetop/oven, fridge, and even more storage. Comfy, but extremely functional kitchen space.
Full bathroom with detailed tilework hinting at the history of this home. More natural light, a big bonus for a bathroom!
Shared entryway, where tenants can retrieve mail as well. Entryway leads right out to both garages, as well as the back patio and backyard. Full yard is gated off for added privacy, with a TALL privacy fence in the backyard. No peaky neighbors.
A view capturing our oasis, but also the garage you'd be parking in for free! Very secluded yard, locked back gate, locked front gate. Garage has automatic lights, and entry includes garage opener and/or keyed entry.
View of the manor from the front. Tenants have access to the front porch for 10/10 people watching and evening sunsets. Front gate can be locked or unlocked for guests.
Ariel view of the backyard garden, planters, koi pond, back patio, grape vines, and MIL suite. The first 9 windows on floor 2 (counting from back to front) are all for the MIL suite!
One final view of the back gardens, "forest," and planters. All fully fenced in, shared space.

About the building

$1,440 Sun-Drenched 1BR Suite in Historic 1889 Victorian South-Facing Windows, Garage Parking, Koi Pond + Garden Plant Parents - you've found your home! If natural light is non-negotiable for you, stop here, you'll love it here. The south-facing Mother-in-law suite at 2601 Portland Ave occupies nearly the entire south side of a meticulously maintained 1889 Victorian manor in West Phillips, and the windows oversized, nearly floor-to-ceiling across the kitchen, dining room, living room, and bedroom deliver sun and warmth all day long. There is not a darker hour in this apartment. At 550 square feet, the suite lives larger than it sounds. Ten-foot ceilings, well-defined spaces, and hardwood floors in excellent condition throughout give the apartment genuine breathing room. The layout flows naturally from a generous living area into a dedicated dining space and into a full kitchen with full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, and ample kitchen cabinet storage a rare find at this price point. The bedroom is private and proper, with a closet, and a full bathroom with classic tile finishes sits just steps away. A dedicated coat and shoe closet greets you at the entry the small detail that makes a real difference in daily life. The suite has its own dedicated space within a shared entry separate from the other units, private in feel, with mail delivered directly to the entry vestibule. Laundry is available in the building. Attic storage is shared among building residents and steps away. One garage parking space is included. The garage has automatic lighting, a digital keypad, and a keyed entry. Out back, you'll have access to the same 40-year cultivated yard shared with the carriage house and owner unit: fully fenced, mature shade trees, raised dining patio, and a large koi pond with waterfall feature that becomes the unofficial soundtrack of warm evenings. The yard is maintained with real pride it shows. A note on heating and cooling: the suite shares a climate system with the main unit (owners' residence). Heat and AC are central and reliable; we work collaboratively with tenants on comfort. This is a home where owners and tenants share a building and look out for each other the previous tenant rented for eight years. World Famous Eat Street is 7 blocks away. Groceries, parks, daycares, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. The neighborhood scores 94/100 for cycling. Well behaved pets considered with monthly pet rent and a non-refundable deposit. Cats and dogs considered; pets must be supervised in the yard. 12-month lease, converting to month-to-month. Rent varies by occupancy. Base rent is $1,440 plus flat monthly utility share of $100. Utility share includes gas, electric, and water. Rent includes in-building laundry, garage parking, storage. Lawn care and snow removal is handled by owners. Available June 1.
