Portland, Oregon, 97215

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.
