View ListingLive larger in Lents with this graceful, sturdy and clean 1912 bungalow that’s been updated, but which still retains its original charm. Stretch out into the more than 2200sf of living space on three levels, including six bedrooms and two bathrooms, all with lots of natural light. The house offers a variety of options for multigenerational living, roommates and guests, as well as office space, craft and media rooms.
Play larger on the beautiful, oversized 0.23 acre lot. It’s sunny with ample southern and western exposure, complete with raised beds, perennials, fruit trees and a firepit, and the backyard is fenced and private. There is also a 300+sf detached garage and shop space for all of your tools, bikes and gear, as well as a long and partially-gated driveway that could accommodate multiple cars, a boat trailer or R/V.
Relax larger on the big covered porch out back, providing a four-season perch to watch the sunset and gaze upon your private oasis in the heart of one of SE Portland’s most exciting and dynamic neighborhoods.

A large sliding glass door from the porch provides sheltered entry to the rear tiled foyer, laundry space, full bathroom and short hallway to the kitchen. The big kitchen is at the heart of the house and links the living room and dining area into a unified whole for easy entertaining and comfortable living. The large island is sure to be the center of conversation and connection. Granite countertops and newer cabinets complement the stainless appliances, while sink windows brings light and air. There is a south-facing bedroom with a large closet off the kitchen for one-level living, or for use a reading and media room.
The upper level boasts three bedrooms, a large full bathroom, original built-ins, and a bonus nook. On clear days, there is even a peekaboo view of Mt. Hood from the front room. Finally, if all of that isn’t enough, the lower level has been fully converted, with two bedrooms and ample storage spaces, as well as a custom-built bar in a bonus living room for endless entertainment possibilities.
Bright and clean engineered hardwood floors throughout the first floor and lower level contrast nicely with modern gray walls and bright white trim. A newer electric heat pump provides quiet, easy heating and cooling, and the newer double-paned vinyl windows keep it all cozy and quiet. Gas service is available at the house for easy range conversion, and a radon mitigation system was installed in 2016.
The house is located just over a mile from Lents Park and the Portland Pickles, the lively Lents business district and International Farmers Market, and the Springwater Corridor multi-use path and Johnson Creek natural area. It’s a quick drive west down Holgate into the heart of southeast Portland, and I-205 and the MAX line are just over a mile away.
Your spacious oasis awaits!
