Built in 1922, this charming bungalow is more than meets the eye. A block from Hawthorne hot spots, this gem is tucked in on a corner lot amongst mature landscaping creating a quiet neighborhood feel. The welcoming front porch leads to a living room open to the dining area with beautiful refinished hardwoods and elevated picture windows with views of the tree-lined street. Down the hall you’ll find two bedrooms, one with a bonus space, perfect for an office or nursery. Enjoy entertaining in your updated kitchen with quartz countertops and subway tile. Period details with built-ins and storage throughout. The basement offers even more potential to spread out. Take advantage of the non-confirming bonus room (band practice anyone?) and bring your imagination to what else could be.

Don’t miss the oversized garage (720 sq ft) providing endless possibilities – a creative retreat for your yoga studio or woodworking DIY projects. This home also features a permitted 1BR/1BA ADU built in 2018 with soaring ceilings, modern amenities such as AC and loads of natural light. Custom designed with attention to detail from the sanded hardwoods, cork flooring, bespoke woodwork, metal work and lighting throughout. Higher end aluminum clad wood windows and added soundproofing offering extra privacy. Enjoy your own outdoor urban oasis on the 120 sq ft balcony, exclusive to the ADU. Currently tenant-occupied to supplement your mortgage, or use the ADU as an extension of your home to host family and friends, or AirBnb once vacant. Prime location to local hot spots for delicious tacos, pizza and more. New Seasons Grocery and other conveniences right at your doorstep. Perfect for Owner Occupant or Investor.

She/Her

A bit about me, I am a Portland transplant by way of Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Burlington (Vermont), Boston, New York City and Hong Kong. Prior to becoming a Broker and working in Property Management/Real Estate, my former career was in Human Resources at Deutsche Bank and Natixis. Moving to Portland allowed me to make the change into Real Estate as becoming a Broker was always in the back of my mind watching my mom and grandmother. My grandmother built a successful woman-owned real estate business in Neenah, Wisconsin and my mom followed her footsteps.
When I am not “working”, I love to spend quality time with my husband and son, hanging with friends, and centering myself with Barre and Yoga. We are travelers at heart and have enjoyed spending our free time exploring this beautiful state of Oregon that we are lucky enough to call home. So whether you are local, moving from a distance, searching for that investment property or wondering if you should hold on to your home or sell, I’m here to guide you throughout the process to help you in either direction you decide.
