A sweet Craftsman-style front porch sets the tone, welcoming you home each day. Inside, natural light pours through large windows, filling a spacious living room with warmth and highlighting the hardwood floors. The updated kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring granite counters, tile floors, and ample cabinetry. It’s easy to imagine mornings starting here and evenings winding down over a shared meal. This home lives comfortably on one level, offering two generously sized bedrooms with surprisingly roomy closets, along with a versatile bonus room ideal for a den, home office, or creative space. Fresh interior paint and new carpet in the bedrooms make it truly move-in ready. Downstairs, a basement with exterior access provides abundant storage and a dedicated laundry area, adding flexibility for everyday living. Outside, the fenced backyard offers just the right amount of space for summer barbecues, gardening, or playtime, while fragrant lilacs and fruit trees -including cherry, Italian plum, and pear-create a sense of privacy and charm in both the front and back yards. Newer systems are in place for additional peace of mind: a newer roof and Hardie fiber cement siding (both in 2021), as well as a tankless hot water heater and a high-efficiency 96% AFUE two-stage furnace. Situated on a quiet street with easy access to the I-5 corridor, this location strikes a rare balance—peaceful at home, yet close to everything that makes North Portland so special.
