6126 SE STEPHENS ST

On the market for the first time in 68 years, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is full of original character and thoughtful updates. Lush landscaping leads to a classic, spacious living room anchored by an Adobe-style wood-burning fireplace flanked by handsome built-ins. Oak floors lie beneath the carpet here and continue through the main-floor bedroom, bonus room and hallway. The kitchen retains its original hutch and has an eating area framed by a picture window. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms, a den with a gas stove, and a full bath. Large sun porches are found on both the main and upper floors. The basement offers a partially finished bonus room with a half bath, laundry, and generous storage. Outside, the oversized backyard is a true oasis — a large patio, mature plantings, fruit trees, and garden beds. The 1-car tandem garage features quaint carriage doors and ample room for a workshop or storage. Recent improvements include a new sewer line (2010), tankless water heater (2025), new 150-amp electrical panel (2025), furnace with AC (2023), heat pump with upstairs mini-splits, and seismic bolting in the basement. All of this just half a block from Mt. Tabor Park and a few blocks from the shops, restaurants, and theaters along Hawthorne and Division. An exceptional opportunity to make this home your own.
