Tucked into the heart of Sabin, this 1924 bungalow blends classic charm with thoughtful updates and a bright, easy flow. The main level features warm hardwood floors, a light-filled living area, and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, gas range, quartz counters, and a sunny dining nook that connects easily to everyday living. Upstairs, a finished upper level creates a private primary suite with skylights, vaulted ceilings, and a modern ensuite bath, while the full basement offers excellent storage and flexibility. Out back, enjoy a fully fenced yard with a covered patio and room to relax, garden, or entertain. And yes, there’s even a chicken coop, ready for your urban homestead era. Behind the scenes, major system improvements include a main sewer line replacement, updated plumbing to key fixtures, and a new water heater. Located just blocks from Alberta, Fremont, and neighborhood parks, you’re close to some of NE Portland’s best shops, restaurants, and community spots, and the notably low property taxes are a rare bonus for the neighborhood.
