Welcome to this classic SE Portland bungalow where historic charm meets modern efficiency. Nestled on a quiet street in the gently rolling hills of the lovely Richmond neighborhood, this bright home with high ceilings boasts an open floorplan with south- and west-facing windows that ensure abundant natural light throughout the day. Plant lovers rejoice! The flow is fantastic and perfect for entertaining: the welcoming layout offers visibility from the living room to the updated kitchen to the French doors that open onto an expansive deck with a peaceful, elevated 180° view.  The vibe out back is chill and perfect for summer hangs with your buds.

The large main bedroom offers flexibility for multiple uses with direct access to the shared bathroom. The finished basement lives large and expands the living space with two additional bedrooms, a spacious family room perfect for cozy reading sessions and movie nights, plus a full bathroom/laundry room with exterior access. The fully-fenced backyard features multiple levels of raised garden beds and retaining walls ready for your garden dreams, and the 9′ x 11′ shed provides secure storage for your bikes, outdoor gear and gardening projects.

The house has fortunately retained all of its original solid wood doors and original hardware, and it also features many modern updates and cool custom-made additions, like the bespoke gate and handmade children’s slide in the basement. Double-pane windows, 96% efficient gas furnace, and tankless water heater offer quiet comfort and give this house an impressive Home Energy Score of 7/10. Newer engineered hardwood floors have been installed throughout the main level while the basement features cork flooring and carpet.

The quiet neighborhood is an absolute dream to explore. Two blocks of massive trees surrounding the Loyola Jesuit Center are just down the street and they act as a tangible heat sink in the summer. There’s easy access to everything you need: just blocks to Portland Wine Company and Birds & Bees Nursery, 1/2 mile to Division and Foster business districts, Clinton and Creston Parks, Franklin High School, Natural Grocers, and so much more. This home offers serious value and is primed for you to bring your vision and ideas to life. Don’t miss this chance to make this bright and beautiful charmer your own!
