9221 SE GLADSTONE ST

Some homes simply check the boxes. Others make you feel at home the moment you walk through the door. Filled with natural light and thoughtful updates, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow offers 908 square feet of comfortable living designed for everyday life. Large picture windows brighten the living room, while hardwood floors add warmth and character throughout. The kitchen features solid-surface countertops, ample cabinetry, a dedicated dining area, and easy access to the fully fenced backyard - making it just as easy to host friends as it is to enjoy a quiet evening at home. Step outside to a fully fenced 0.13-acre lot with room to garden, play, entertain, or simply unwind. Thoughtfully planted by the current owner, there is a growing collection of fruit trees and edible plantings, adding beauty today and harvests for years to come. Whether you envision weekend barbecues, tending a thriving garden, or simply enjoying your own retreat, this outdoor space is ready to become your own. The current owner made meaningful improvements with long-term comfort in mind, before a relocation opportunity was dropped in their lap. Updates include a new roof in 2024, added insulation, and energy-efficient mini-split heating and cooling systems installed in 2025. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, parks, and everyday amenities - including the popular Lents Park, home of the Portland Pickles - this home offers the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and city convenience. The best homes don't always need to be the biggest. Sometimes they're simply the ones that feel right the moment you arrive. [Home Energy Score = 6.
