Timeless mid-century design reimagined with refined updates, original character, and exceptional versatility on a desirable corner lot in one of Portland's most sought-after neighborhoods. Refinished original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and black-framed windows create a dramatic first impression, complemented by a crisp black-and-white exterior. Extensive improvements include new siding, roof, A/C, and the convenience of dual laundry areas (main + basement), along with rare off-street gated driveway parking and room for an RV or boat—an exceptional find in inner Southeast Portland. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard featuring a vehicle entry gate, a mature walnut tree, and ample space for entertaining, gardening, pets, or future possibilities. The functional layout offers two bedrooms and a bath on the main level alongside spacious living and dining areas. The open kitchen features an island, high-end granite countertops, and ceiling-height designer-selected cabinetry. The lower level—with an egress window, private side entrance, full bath, bar sink, storage, and flexible enclosed space—offers endless possibilities, ideal for a fourth bedroom, family room, guest quarters, multigenerational living, or a potential dual-living setup. R2.5 zoning provides opportunity for future expansion with potential for a garage, ADU, or lot split (buyer to verify). City-approved plans are available for a custom two-car garage with upper-level living space and bath; price subject to increase if built to specifications. Enjoy easy access to both Division and Hawthorne—known for award-winning dining, boutique shopping, cafés, and Portland's vibrant culture. Nearby favorites include acclaimed restaurants such as St. Jack, Ava Gene's, and more, along with proximity to Mount Tabor Park, neighborhood parks, and recreation. Exceptional walkability with a Walk Score of 94, Bike Score of 99, and convenient transit access make this an unmatched urban lifestyle opportunity.
