Beautifully Updated in Garden Home. With a blend of classic farmhouse character and thoughtful modern updates, this refreshed home in the heart of SW Portland has it all. Set on a quiet street, the property welcomes you with new board-and-batten siding, exterior paint, and styled garage doors that elevate its curb appeal. A wide wrap-around porch creates an inviting outdoor living space, ideal for relaxed evenings surrounded by mature, private landscaping. Inside, the home has been extensively updated with wide-plank white oak engineered hardwoods and detailed millwork, including new baseboards, shiplap accents, and beadboard touches. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area, offering a cozy focal point. The kitchen features a Wolf gas range and hood, farmhouse sink, and a series of upgrades that make everyday cooking a joy. Bathrooms have been tastefully refreshed, continuing the home’s cohesive, elevated style. The upper floor hosts the 5th bedroom with lots of great space and storage, acting as a private retreat from the rest of the home. You’ll enjoy the manicured .25-acre lot with different seating areas, perfect for entertaining during the sunny days. The oversized two-story garage provides exceptional storage and flexibility for hobbies, gear, or workspace needs. Recent improvements such as new AC add comfort and convenience. Located less than a mile from Multnomah Village, you’re close to boutique shops, local dining, forested trails, and easy transit options.
