Some homes have really good energy, and this St. Johns bungalow is one of them! Filled with charm, natural light, and thoughtful improvements, it's the kind of home that feels welcoming the moment you step inside. Recent upgrades, including a high-efficiency heat pump, improved insulation, duct sealing, and air sealing, help create a home that's as comfortable as it is charming. Stay cozy in the winter and enjoy cool, restful summer nights without a second thought. The finished attic offers a flexible bonus space perfect for storage, creative pursuits, movie nights, or a quiet retreat away from the bustle of daily life. Outside, the sunny south-facing backyard is ready to reward your green thumb. Mature fruit trees and raised garden beds create the foundation for a truly abundant urban homestead - imagine harvesting fresh herbs, summer vegetables, and fruit just steps from your kitchen door! The oversized garage offers endless possibilities as an artist studio, workshop, maker space, home gym, or the kind of storage Portlanders are always searching for. Just minutes from neighborhood faves, parks, cafés, shops, and restaurants, you'll love the easy access to everything that makes St. Johns such a lovely community. Full of character, possibility, and room to grow, this is the kind of home that invites you to put down roots and stay awhile. [Home Energy Score = 8.

Home is turnkey and beautiful. The landscaping I'm front provides a wonderful feeling of privacy walking up the steps. The backyard is large and features raised beds and a chicken coop, a gardeners paradise. The interior has been well updated and...
has a wonderful layout.

Welcome home! Vintage charm, ready to expand - two beds, one bath but surprise space upstairs (pop in a spiral staircase?) and in the attached garage/studio. Your urban farm oasis is planted and ready for summer, and comes with fruit trees too - cherries, plums, apples, pears, and grapes. Pour the lemonade! [Home Energy Score = 6.
