Framed by mature Oregon trees in the coveted Multnomah Village area, this original bungalow sits on a thoughtfully reimagined property offering something increasingly rare—the timeless charm of a classic Portland home paired with the confidence of a comprehensive, top-to-bottom renovation. Every detail preserves the warmth and character of the original 1941 home while seamlessly blending comfort, style, and modern efficiency. The renovation extends well beyond the aesthetic. Every major system has been updated—including the roof, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, water line, and water heater—along with Milgard windows and fencing, offering the peace of mind of a complete restoration. Inside, 1,360 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths offer an effortless balance of comfort and function. The main-level primary suite is complemented by two additional bedrooms upstairs, while luxury vinyl plank flooring, plush new carpeting, designer finishes, and beautifully appointed tile-surround bathrooms create a warm, elevated feel. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for everyday living and entertaining, featuring quartz countertops, a center island with eating bar, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a GE electric range, a Frigidaire refrigerator, and a Samsung microwave. A dedicated mudroom/laundry room, three exterior entrances, one walk-in closet, and generous crawlspace storage add practicality. The landscaped setting includes a covered carport that doubles as a private entertaining patio, additional paved parking, and a low-maintenance yard. Located within the highly regarded Hayhurst, Gray, and Ida B. Wells school boundaries, you'll enjoy one of Southwest Portland's most beloved enclaves, where cafés, restaurants, shops, and parks create a true village feel just minutes from downtown Portland. Beautifully restored and completely turnkey, this rare home seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with modern living. CREDIT/FINANCING AVAIL VIA PREF LENDER.
