Welcome to The Wonder on 48th! Rich in history and full of character. This 1915 Hayhurst charmer has nearly half an acre, a permitted ADU, and a detached workshop. Not your everyday Portland property—and that's exactly the point. Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, a light-filled sunroom, and the kind of personality you just don't find in newer homes. Recent updates include a new roof, furnace, water heater, ductwork, and kitchen appliances. The attached, permitted ADU features its own kitchenette and bathroom, offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. The permitted detached workshop is ready for makers, tinkerers, artists, or anyone with a project in mind, complete with 220V power and plumbing capability. Outside, the fully fenced lot is surrounded by mature landscaping with plenty of room for gardening, backyard gatherings, or simply enjoying a little extra space. A two-car garage and partially finished basement add even more functionality. Located near Hayhurst Elementary and just minutes from the shops, restaurants, coffee spots, and neighborhood favorites of Multnomah Village, this home offers a little breathing room without leaving the conveniences of city living behind. Vintage charm, creative possibilities, and a location that's distinctly Portland. The Wonder on 48th is ready for its next chapter! [Home Energy Score = 1.

Hayhurst, located between Multnomah Village and Hillsdale, is a residential and hillside Portland neighborhood with wooded slopes and a quiet, campus-adjacent feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the SW Capitol Hwy and SW Sunset Blvd junction, where small storefronts, coffee counters, and everyday errands cluster along the corridor. Community pillars include the Southwest Community Center, the Hillsdale Library, and the historic Oregon Episcopal School campus. Curving streets and mid-century houses mix with newer builds, often framed by tall firs. Trails and green pockets thread toward Gabriel Park and the broader Southwest hills. Daily life leans toward local routines, with buses and bike routes linking to nearby village streets.
