A brand new sewer line, central a/c, washer/dryer, and newer fencing for privacy for the low maintenance landscape. The unfinished basement provides a secure space for outdoor gear - perfect for exploring the Portland Japanese Gardens or PSU Farmers Market on the weekends. Within the Ainsworth Elementary/Lincoln High School boundaries. You'll have easy access to downtown Portland's restaurants, PSU food carts, Under Armor's Duniway Park running track, shopping, transit, events, and everything fun about urban living in PDX!
