Take a good look at this gem in Burlingame...Set privately off the street, this charming original home is clean, refreshed and ready. With an efficient, flexible floorplan, a large basement, and an oversized detached 2-car garage with attic storage, it offers terrific potential for investors (Lewis & Clark, OHSU are nearby), home business needs or first-time buyers. Enter through the large covered front porch and cute Dutch door. Inside, the refreshed kitchen features NEW butcher block counters, sink, range, vent hood, freshly painted cabinets, and new hardware. The cozy living room shines with refinished hardwood floors, a newer gas fireplace, and large bay window, while the dining room feels spacious with vaulted ceiling, skylight, and built-ins.

Just one block from South Burlingame restaurants and services, with quick access to Lewis & Clark, Lake Oswego, Multnomah Village, OHSU, and I-5. You have to see this one! [Home Energy Score = 2.

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.
