Buyers looking for value can still get a foothold in Portland in this well-preserved and smartly updated bungalow. She proudly sits in a quiet pocket of the evolving Powellhurst-Gilbert neighborhood. Enter to find a cozy living room with a fireplace and built-ins, and a sunny kitchen that features a dining area, granite counters, pantry, and stainless steel appliances. Including a brand-new refrigerator and gas range. Double-paned wood windows and hardwood floors run throughout. Three bedrooms live on the main level. Two with space-maximizing closet shelving, while the third non-conforming room offers flexible space for an office, guest room, or nursery. The basement adds even more versatility (possible ADU potential?), with a second bathroom, two finished connecting rooms and separate exterior entrance. With off-street parking, a low-maintenance yard, and parks, transit, and everyday essentials nearby, this home offers a solid opportunity for someone ready to put down roots and be part of a neighborhood that continues to grow and improve.
