This classic 40s charmer draws you in from the very first glance with curb appeal dialed all the way up. Perched above the street with a sweet front yard bursting into life for spring, it’s the kind of home you notice as you pass by… and dream about living in. Step inside and that feeling only deepens. Natural light pours into a bright, open living room that feels instantly welcoming, flowing seamlessly into a thoughtfully updated kitchen designed for the way we actually live.This is where life unfolds: mornings at the eat-at bar with coffee in hand, afternoons of homework and snacks, long evenings with friends. With room for four at the bar and plenty of room for a dining table, the layout is intuitive and dialed in just right. The kitchen offers generous counters and cupboards while still open, so you’re always part of the conversation.The main level features a flexible third bedroom and a renovated full bath, perfect for guests, a home office, or cozy den. Upstairs, two bedrooms offer a peaceful retreat, including a primary suite with bamboo floors, French doors, and a sweet alcove ready to fill with books and pillows. A refreshed en-suite bath completes the space.A dedicated laundry room with utility sink, storage, and a closet, connects directly to the attached garage for easy loading in and packing out. The extra-deep garage offers plenty of additional storage, giving everything its place. Out back, just enough yard space to enjoy without the overwhelm of maintenance—mature plantings, a raised bed, a sitting area, and room for a BBQ set the scene for relaxed summer evenings.Right in the heart of the city, you can head in any direction and tap into everything Portland has to offer. Just blocks to Mt. Tabor and minutes to Montavilla’s restaurants, cafés, and other neighborhood spots. You’ll walk in and just know that it’s The One.
