3227 SE 56th AVE

A little Portland history, a whole lot of heart, and ready for its next generation of memories. Lovingly cared for by the same family for more than four decades, this 1914 South Tabor Craftsman offers just that. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and bonus spaces that offer flexibility for all the ways life unfolds, there's room to settle in and make it your own. Enter through the classic sun porch, a lovely spot to pause and unload the day, and step into light-filled living spaces bathed in incredible southern light. The flow continues to a thoughtfully remodeled kitchen (2016), complete with convenient built-ins and a charming one-seat coffee perch. Add in wood floors refinished in 2015, a custom hideaway bathroom cubby, and ample storage throughout. Upstairs, a spacious primary bedroom with adjoining sitting room or office offers possibilities for creating your own en suite retreat - plus loads of bonus storage. Downstairs, a separate living area with exterior access is ready for guests, extended living, or potential rental use. Outside, raised garden beds, native plantings, and a covered back porch offer room to garden, gather, and unwind. The important updates are here: new sewer, 200-amp electrical service, and Mitsubishi heat pump with upstairs mini-split (2024); roof (2015); main bath remodel (2014); and some newer double-pane windows. Most supply lines are copper. A garage ready for workshop organization and a separate tool shed round out the package. The big-ticket items have been taken care of, giving you a solid foundation and room to make your mark. Two blocks to Franklin HS, Clinton Park, public transit, and under a mile to beloved Mt Tabor Park and a delicious variety of Portland eateries. OPEN Sat 12-2 and Sun 1-3 [Home Energy Score = 2.
