4524 NE GOING ST

Cute as a button with a lot to grow on! Compact, adorable, and lovingly updated, this 1926 cottage makes a cozy home at the front of an almost 1/4 acre lot. With 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms this home makes the most of its compact footprint while leaving you with something we are all looking for: Space. The level lot is a blank canvas for gardens, gathering, play, creative projects, or exploring the possibilities for an ADU or tiny home to create additional living space or help offset the mortgage. (Buyer to verify all development possibilities with the City of Portland.) Inside, you'll find fresh functional updates, including newer windows, easy-care laminate flooring, a bright refreshed bathroom, and a wood stove that brings a little extra cozy warmth to chilly evenings. The main level offers easy everyday living with a bedroom and full bath, while the basement adds two more bedrooms plus a half bath—great as flexible space for guests, work, or hobbies. And then there’s the bonus room on the third level—a tucked-away spot ready to become a kiddo hideout, reading nook, or creative studio.Outside is where this property really shines. Mature plum trees and grape vines add shade, sweetness, and a sense that this garden has stories still to tell. There's room for raised beds, chickens, outdoor dinners, a play space, or a future garden studio. This is a home that’s easy to settle into and make your own, while having enough yard to dream big about what may come. All this and just a quick jaunt to the NE 42nd ave corridor which hosts diverse and delicious destinations like Javelina, Queer Plants Cafe, Pizza Jerk and the gorgeous Fern Hill Park. Check out this Cully cutie and start sketching out your own version of the good life. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10252363]
