Positioned above the street, this rad 1940's bungalow delivers so much personality and a cool mid-century vibe. The pictures are great--but this one is even better in person! Generous windows let the natural light just pour in, giving the home an effortless, airy energy. Charming? Absolutely! Updated? You bet! Recent improvements include a new tear off roof, high-efficiency furnace and A/C, refinished hardwoods, a thoughtfully redesigned kitchen and main-floor bath, a refreshed half bath, and modern fixtures and hardware. Two generously sized bedrooms are on the main floor with excellent light and impressive closet space. The main floor bathroom is really quite beautiful. An additional hideaway bedroom suite upstairs that is private and unexpected. It has a walk-in closet and a sweet half bath. The kitchen. Ah, the kitchen. This beauty opens seamlessly to the dining area, creating an easy, social flow with clear sightlines into the living room. The sun-soaked coffee nook will be an instant favorite. Just off the kitchen, the mudroom/laundry room, with exterior access, includes a pantry and clever built-ins to keep daily life organized. Downstairs is a super cozy, carpeted family room. A separate bonus space with its own exterior entrance offers flexibility—studio, workshop, hobby room, or some serious storage. Low-maintenance terraced front yard with a lovely view, a back patio perfect for lounging, and a yard with space to garden or play. The two-car tandem tuck-under garage adds everyday convenience. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat. Steps to George Himes City Park, Hillsdale downtown and farmer's market, popular schools, OHSU, and highway access to pop downtown PDX. The neighborhood is awesome, and definitely one to explore.
