Cute bungalow alert! This charming 1947 Sellwood sweetheart serves up immediate curb appeal, freshly updates and personality in all the right places. At the heart of the living room, a wonderfully original tiled fireplace brings color, texture and just enough quirk to make the home memorable, complemented by its mural-like Anthropologie wallpaper. Two sunny bedrooms with cheerful main-level living, while the unfinished attic is ready for a future primary, studio, office or creative retreat. Terrific kitchen with beautiful counters, and chef's gas range. Updated Milgard windows, new electrical, new water line and well maintained systems. Downstairs, the basement is ripe for a game-night hangout, home gym, workshop, or the neighborhood’s best secret speakeasy. The big backyard brings multiple patio zones, a fenced garden, a chicken coop and plenty of space for long summer evenings. Ahhh, Portland. A detached garage adds storage and flexibility. All of this sits on a quiet street close to the shops, restaurants, parks, waterfront trails and everyday goodness of Sellwood. Full of charm now, with space to dream about what comes next. This darling house has a lot going on, setting the next stewards up for an epic summer and beyond. Open Saturday 11 till 1, come see. [Home Energy Score = 4.
