1612 NE SARATOGA ST

Set on a tree lined street in Portland's Woodlawn neighborhood, you will find this 2003 built two story home with 1,491 square feet of well planned living space. Step inside to an open main level where the updated kitchen, dining and living areas flow together around a gas fireplace, warmed further by bamboo and slate flooring. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two full baths offer separation from the everyday living space below. Out back, a fenced yard, covered patio and sun shade create a private spot to unwind, framed by a striking banana leaf tree and a stand of bamboo. Established strawberries, blueberries and raspberries grow alongside raised garden beds, ready for whoever wants to keep the harvest going. A detached 576 square foot studio brings genuine flexibility to the property. Built with concrete floors and 220 volt power already run, the space functions today as a workshop, but its size and utilities give it real potential for conversion to an accessory dwelling unit. A pass through door in the main garage lines up directly with the studio, opening an easy path from the driveway straight through to the back yard and workshop. Ask about the 3D drawings that help visualize the ADU potential. Did we mention the location? You'll be right around the corner from Ranch Pizza and Tamale Boy, two of my favorite restaurants in Portland. Turn the other way and you'll find Dekum Triangle just down the street, with its coffee shops, brewery, restaurants, farmers market and Woodlawn Park. It's a location that puts daily errands, entertainment, parks and the rest of Portland within easy reach. [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10205249]
