Set on a large, peaceful, and verdant lot just a short walk from Multnomah Village, this four-bedroom, two-bath bungalow offers the kind of charm and livability that feels increasingly hard to find. The home’s mature landscaping and established gardens create a sense of privacy and calm, while inside, the layout offers flexibility, warmth, and easy everyday function. The location is exceptional with many nearby greenspaces, including Gabriel Park, Spring Garden Park, Woods Memorial Park, Custer Park and more.There is a soulful quality here—classic bungalow character, generous space, and an indoor-outdoor connection that makes the property feel both grounded and inviting. Some added surprises: a working darkroom in the basement and a 10 foot topiary chicken in the front give the home an unmistakable creative edge. Bring your imagination and ideas for polishing this wonderful gem.
