A Classic Portland Bungalow in One of the City's Most Connected Neighborhoods.Built in 1921, this solid PDX bungalow is everything a classic Portland home should be: full of character, rich with history, and planted firmly in one of the eastside's most walkable, bikeable, and livable neighborhoods.Inside, period wood moldings and enduring craftsmanship speak to a quality of construction that simply isn't replicated today. South-facing orientation floods the home with natural light throughout the day, and a 2023 HVAC system with central air conditioning and integrated air purifier means year-round comfort. No sweating through Portland summers here.Step outside and the lifestyle opens up. Walk to a new community center, a new library, restaurants, and grocery stores. Eastport Plaza is right around the corner, and the newly renovated Mercado Latin food cart pod is set to open this summer. Kern Park is less than ten minutes on foot, with Essex Park and Mt. Scott Park nearby as well. The kind of neighborhood where kids are outside playing and families put down roots. Lents Park, home of the Portland Pickles, is just a mile away, and Mt. Tabor is an easy two-mile ride for those weekend trail runs.Speaking of riding, downtown Portland is a 25-minute bike commute, and a drive lands you there in 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. Clackamas Town Center is just ten minutes by car.The nearly 20-year organic garden is a true labor of love: over 25 varieties of herbs, perennials, and shrubs, small trees cultivated pesticide-free, with room to continue growing. Two freestanding garages anchor the property, one with a deep concrete foundation that may be capable of supporting an ADUPlus a new roof with a lifetime warranty.
