3426 SE STEPHENS ST

Tucked perfectly between Hawthorne and Division on a quiet, low-traffic street, this charming bungalow blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and beautifully designed outdoor living. Dark bamboo floors, craftsman molding, custom lighting, and a rebuilt fireplace surround create warmth throughout, while expansive windows and an open floor plan fill the home with natural light. The sunny kitchen features quartz counters, a Bosch dual-fuel range, abundant storage, and a spacious breakfast nook, all framed by a wall of south-facing windows and French doors that open to the backyard — a favorite spot for morning coffee and relaxed gatherings. A main-level bedroom wrapped in William Morris wallpaper adds charm and flexibility. Upstairs, mini-splits provide efficient heating and cooling, while the remodeled primary bath showcases a custom vanity, updated fixtures, and thoughtful design details. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility, functioning beautifully as a private guest suite with a spacious family room and bonus room as well as storage and laundry. Outside, the backyard feels like a year-round sanctuary. A custom in-ground hot tub with cascading waterfall, stacked stone fireplace, craftsman-style pergola, and IPE deck create an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Mature landscaping brings four-season color and privacy, while the front porch swing offers a perfect perch for greeting neighbors on warm evenings. Just 2 blocks from Sewallcrest Park and steps from Hawthorne and Division’s beloved shops and restaurants. The hardest part of living here is choosing Bagdad Theater or Lauretta Jeans and yes, you will end up choosing both.
