Beautifully remodeled in 2019 but kept a few gems in each room that shows the craftsmanship of an older house. From the stained glass doors when you walk in, to the engraved door handles on every door, you will be blown away by the enchanting details. The kitchen is a chef's dream with new stainless steel appliances, wrap-around countertops and kitchen island for all the prepping space you'll need- complete with an ocean view from the kitchen sink! The formal living room includes a vintage built-in with a piano- great for entertaining! The bedrooms are spacious and bright, the master has a walk-in closet with built-ins. The completely finished attic gives for even more livable space on the third floor. Laundry, possible office space and workshop benches in the basement. Located across the street from Taylor Street Park that has a playground and basketball court. Minutes from the Western Prom, Portland Trails and many local restaurants and shops.
