Affectionately nicknamed “Birdland Cottage” for the numerous birds who visit the yard throughout the year, this urban oasis is a gardener’s dream! As you step onto the front porch you are enveloped into a sense of privacy overlooking a lush largely evergreen front yard. The driveway offers off street parking, an inner city luxury. Inside, warm wood floors and a fireplace, hand made mantle and picture moldings welcome you. The open living and dining spaces flow easily and lead to the bright kitchen which features quartzite counters, stainless sink and appliances, gas range and Bosch dishwasher. The pantry provides ample storage for home cooks and those who grow food.  With a dinette overlooking the expansive backyard, perfect for morning coffee and tea, access to the large deck and yard makes indoor/ outdoor living easy.  The main floor has two bedrooms and a large bath with a vintage clawfoot tub and tile floor. The finished attic with original tongue-and-groove panelling, fir floors and 3 skylights offers a cozy space for a bedroom, home office or creative studio. The finished basement adds remarkable flexibility with both interior and exterior entrances. The large laundry area, storage, bedroom, full bath, family room and small kitchen offers possibilities for guests, rental income or multigenerational living. Outside, the garden and green space are the true stars. The oversized lot is rare in inner SE PDX. With a large deck, established perennials including blueberries, plums, rhubarb, persimmon, raspberries and a 400 sf garden space ready with irrigation, the yard awaits an urban farmer!?Updates that add comfort and peace of mind include: Neil Kelly air sealing, attic insulation, sewer line ‘08, newer exterior paint, gutters, central A/C, a new roof in ‘25, new windows in ‘26. Both decks were re-stained in September. This home is a special combination of vintage charm, updates and enchanting outdoor space, all in one of Portland’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
