2225 N HUMBOLDT ST

This classic PDX Foursquare has a huge bonus waiting for you...step through the private, fenced backyard and you'll find a fully separate, mechanically permitted, second living space set above the XL, two-car garage. Vaulted ceilings, minisplit, its own water heater and laundry, a full bedroom with balcony, and a large living room and kitchen make this a truly independent space with a range of uses from guests to the ultimate office and beyond. You're not even sacrificing a garage or basement like many houses with in-law suites, here you still have that large 2-car garage and a long driveway so there is plenty of parking for all. Given that you're on a tucked away, dead-end street in Overlook, you don't get a lot of traffic to begin with, so wherever your day starts, it begins peacefully surrounded by trees and plantings. || Sitting up off the street, the house itself has those classic features you'd expect from a 1923 Foursquare: built-ins, central fireplace, social circle floorplan, hardwoods, and that feel of timelessness. At the same time, the house has been updated with a high-efficiency furnace and mini-splits for year round comfort, double paned windows, modern bathrooms and kitchen, and a trex-style deck right off the main living areas to extend gatherings to the outdoors. || The Overlook neighborhood is a Portland favorite: easy access to Adidas HQ, Kaiser, and transit/commuting, while being tucked away off the beaten path so you can enjoy the unique neighborhood events like Porch Fest, sunsets on the bluffs, and Madrona park a block away at your own pace.
