Property Description
Classic North Portland home with character, space and substantial recent improvements already completed! This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 1,430 sq ft with laminate floors, a cozy fireplace, spacious living areas and a family room that opens to a covered patio, extending the living space outdoors for relaxing or entertaining. The original kitchen and warm wood-paneled spaces offer a nod to the home's mid-century roots and an opportunity to personalize over time.Beyond the finishes, significant investment has been made where it counts. Recent improvements include a new roof (2024), electrical panel upgrade from 100 to 200 amps with permitted wiring updates, plumbing improvements, new 50-gallon electric water heater, radon mitigation system, sewer improvements, and decommissioning of the underground oil tank with DEQ documentation and a new above-ground tank installed.An attached garage, generous backyard and additional space for RV or boat storage provide even more flexibility. Conveniently positioned for access to both St. Johns and Kenton, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy it today while bringing your own vision to the kitchen and interior finishes over time. The big-ticket improvements are already underway, now make the style your own.
