About The Property

Built in 1921, this craftsman home has soul to spare; the kind of house that feels like home the moment you step onto the covered front porch and settle onto the swing.Original built-in cabinetry sets a warm, storied tone, while newly refinished hardwood floors carry that character throughout. An EPA-certified wood stove adds instant coziness on gray days. The living room opens easily into the dining room, with the kitchen behind opening to the backyard — the energy effortlessly flows.The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated for modern use: stainless appliances, a 6-burner gas range, a farmhouse sink, and modern open shelving. Just off the dining room, a bright, open sunroom is ready to become your office, homework station, or creative studio.Two bedrooms and a full bathroom round out the main level. At the front of the house, one bedroom lives more like a den or family room, with french doors to the living room, a built-in window seat, built-in bookcases, and a big east-facing window flooding the space with morning light. The second main-floor bedroom opens directly to the backyard via a sliding door.Upstairs, two more bedrooms share a versatile nook — ideal as an office or lounge — plus an updated bathroom with period-appropriate hexagonal floor tile, a skylight, and a walk-in shower. On a clear day, catch a view of Mt. Hood right from the front upstairs bedroom.Downstairs, the unfinished basement offers abundant storage, a built-in workbench, and direct access to the garage and driveway.Out back, the generously sized yard is its own destination: a covered deck for year-round outdoor living, fruit trees, garden beds, and a detached outbuilding with its own Mt. Hood view — perfect as a home office, gym, or studio.This is Portland living at its best: just blocks to Mt. Tabor park, a short trip to the neighborhood’s favorite coffee shops and restaurants, and a home with the perfect blend of craftsman soul and modern updates that’s increasingly hard to find.
