2042 SE ANKENY ST

This delightfully situated Victorian on the border of Buckman & Kerns is sure to melt hearts as soon as you cross the threshold. This one’s filled to the brim with timeless character and architectural details rarely found in modern construction such as embellished wood windows and hardwood floor inlays. The massive picture windows and tall ceilings lend feelings of grandeur. Cozy up in the living room with a good book as sunlight spills in around you. The decorative hearth presents an opportunity to create a future fireplace focal point. Entertain with ease with a dedicated dining space that flows to the kitchen. Rounding out the main level you have a bedroom connected to a full bath complete with a classic clawfoot tub. Upstairs, retreat to your own private sanctuary complete with a cozy bedroom, dedicated bath (no running downstairs in the middle of the night!), charming reading or yoga nook, and abundant natural light from wood-framed VELUX skylights. The skylights include built-in blinds and can be opened to welcome fresh air, while a mini-split system keeps the space comfortable year-round. A Victorian with a concrete perimeter foundation? Dreams do come true! Take advantage of the large unfinished basement and transform it to fit your needs. There's plentiful space for storage and it's currently used as an art studio which gets a surprising amount of light. Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped and lush backyard, perfect for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining. This is a rare opportunity to own a character-filled Victorian where original craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, and inviting spaces come together to create a truly special home. All of this while living in the heart of Portland with so many beloved restaurants and shops at your finger tips such as Luce, Sammich, Tusk, Soro Soro, and Tip Top Vintage just to scratch the surface.
