About 8513 N Syracuse St
Looking for the ultimate Toy Barn within the urban environment? Here is the Letson Garage, a warehouse used as a private garage and automotive social club for decades. It is located one block from the St Johns Bridge, and just mere blocks from downtown St Johns. Recent improvements and enhancements have brought it into the modern era with lighting, HVAC, security, and seismic updates. The interior is 4200 square feet of open space, while the outside fenced yard is 800 square feet of secured parking. Inside you will find a one bedroom loft upstairs, while a matching office space on the main floor suggests a speakeasy poker room. Full bathroom with a shower, as well as laundry facilities, and a basic kitchen. Access to the side parking area and patio is through a private door. Recent improvements include period-inspired exterior lighting, seismic retrofitting, security screening for windows, a new rollup door, and extensive security system. Vehicle lifts and automotive artwork available for separate purchase. CN2 zoning allows for multiple uses, including a mix of commercial and residential options, as per Chapter 33.130, contact the City of Portland for all land use questions.
