Open House | Saturday | May 9th | 12-2pm. Located in Mt. Scott-Arleta, this home offers the lifestyle buyers hope for when they hold out for the right one. There’s an easy warmth here that comes through in the details: darling built-ins, a cozy fireplace, and rich hardwood floors, all layered with timeless touches that make the space feel genuinely inviting. The layout is flexible and works for how you actually live. Upstairs, the attic loft has great headroom, plenty of built-ins, and its own mini-split for comfort. It’s the kind of space that can be whatever you need—a family room, home office, extra bedroom or a quiet retreat. Downstairs, the newly remodeled basement adds even more versatility with eco-friendly cork flooring, two bedrooms, a full bath, and a private entrance. It’s well-suited for multigenerational living, guests, or rental income with good separation from the main level. Behind glass French doors, there’s a large storage area with washer/dryer hookups and a generous closet—ideal for dry goods, hobbies, or even a future wine cellar. The home has been thoughtfully updated and well cared for, balancing comfort with efficiency (energy score 8/10). Major upgrades include a new furnace and AC (2024), water heater (2021), fresh exterior paint, and newly stained fencing (2025). Outside, fully fenced front and side yards offer a safe, welcoming space for all. Parking is simple with a two-car tandem driveway, plus a brand-new hardwired ChargePoint EV charger (2025). The location ties it all together—just two blocks from Mt. Scott Park and the recently renovated Community Center, around the corner from favorite local eateries and right where you need to be for the Portland Mercado reopening in summer 2026 with food trucks, a rooftop bar, and gathering spaces. More than anything, this is a home that feels cared for and comfortable—a place to slow down, settle in, and make it your own. Interested in a LOWER rate for your first year of homeownership?
