Say hello to this dreamy updated Victorian in the heart of Portland’s beloved Overlook neighborhood, equal parts charm, character, and comfort. Start your day (or wind it down) on the wraparound porch, shaded by a thriving Wisteria vine that’s basically a botanical hug. The custom exterior woodwork and original architectural details give all the vintage feels, while the 9’ ceilings with tin detailing, bay windows, and stained glass accents keep the charm flowing inside. The main level is bright and airy with a sun-soaked living room and dining space that just gets golden hour. Two bedrooms, a full bath with an oversized soaking tub, and a sweet kitchen featuring quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, T&G backsplash, and plenty of storage round it out. French doors open into a mudroom with a wood-topped counter, farmhouse sink, and a view out to the private backyard. Upstairs is a whole vibe. The primary suite is a full level retreat with a clawfoot tub, a double shower under a skylight, cozy dormer nook, TWO walk-in closets, mini-split climate control, and plenty of flex space for an office, reading zone, or whatever you dream up. The full basement is partially finished with laundry, a fun bonus room and tons of storage. Out back, enjoy a big fenced yard with a modern garage (built in 2021) featuring an extra-tall door, covered pergola, fire pit, water feature, and tool shed. New furnace + AC in 2025, upgraded insulation throughout, and pure good vibes from top to bottom. Come make yourself at home. [Home Energy Score = 4.
