About this home
There’s so much to love about this mid-century maven, from its original quality construction to its many countless updates, from its fantastic floor plan to its multiple outdoor spaces, from its perfect perch above the street to its wonderfully central and convenient location ... it’s hard to pick a favorite! The floor plan features a hard-to-find 4 beds + 3 full baths + laundry all on the main level; elegant, ample room proportions w/ open yet distinct living spaces; a fully-finished basement w/ tall ceilings and myriad, flexible use opportunities; and excellent flow from multiple areas of the home to various outdoor spaces. With timeless mid-century details intact (tray ceilings; mahogany doors + trim; beautiful hardwoods; large, abundant windows), this home has been ushered into the 21st century w/ style + grace. Updates include a gorgeous kitchen remodel (w/ large center island; quartz countertops; full-height cabinetry; built-in double-oven feat. convection, microwave, proofing, warming and more), a primary suite (w/ sliding door to backyard + deck and spacious ensuite bathroom w/ double vanity + walk-in shower), secondary bathroom remodel + updates, gas fireplace inserts, valuable system updates (incl new water heater in '25, new roof in '21, double pane windows, high efficiency furnace) and more! With multiple outdoor spaces, there is a space and place for every season and purpose! Enjoy sunrises and wintertime Mt. Hood views from the covered front porch. Cultivate your green thumb w/ raised garden beds. Dine, play and relax in the enclosed backyard + deck. Savor some peace + quiet on the private back patio. This central, ultra-convenient location is just 10 min fm OHSU, downtown Portland and Lake Oswego, 5 min fm Lewis & Clark College, and enjoys quick, easy access to freeways and the Terwilliger bike + walking path. Nature is at your fingertips w/ miles and miles of trails/paths in nearby Tyron Creek State Park, Riverview Natural Area and Willamette River. [Home Energy Score = 2.

Listed by Katie Sengstake• Windermere Realty Trust
South Burlingame, located between Multnomah Village and Hillsdale, is a residential and hillside Portland neighborhood with winding streets and a leafy, creek-cut landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the SW 43rd Avenue and SW Vermont Street corner, where a small cluster of local storefronts and everyday errands sets a calm, lived-in rhythm. Nearby pillars include the Village Theater & Pub, the Multnomah Arts Center, and the Hillsdale Farmers Market. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches, tidy bungalows, and newer infill tucked into sloped lots. Tree canopy and pocket greenspaces shape a quiet, walk-and-bike feel, with Terwilliger’s trails and the Willamette River corridor close by. Commutes and weekend plans often orbit Barbur Boulevard and Capitol Highway, linking to shops, cafes, and campus energy.
