Step into this charming 1912 bungalow, where vintage charm meets modern convenience. With an inviting broad front porch and attractive curb appeal, this home welcomes you with an open floor plan, perfect for modern living. The living and dining rooms are flooded with natural light from oversized windows, highlighting the beautiful wood floors, built-ins, and a cozy fireplace that add warmth and character. With four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, there’s room for everyone. A generously sized primary bedroom features an ensuite bath and skylights. The layout is ideal for both work-from-home needs and hosting family gatherings. The unfinished basement offers potential for expansion—imagine creating an ADU, a studio, or additional living space. Outside, the organic yard is a gardener’s dream, featuring perennial plantings, a deck, a patio, raised beds, and even a fenced-off chicken coop for urban farming. The detached, updated garage provides space for your car, storage, or a garden center. Nestled near the vibrant heart of Montavilla, you’ll be steps away from fantastic dining, shopping, and coffee spots. With a BikeScore of 97, this location is a cyclist’s paradise, offering a short stroll to local businesses and easy access to Portland’s main thoroughfares like 205, I-84, and Burnside.
