Classic charm meets thoughtful updates in this nicely refreshed 1920 cottage nestled in the heart of SW Portland! From the inviting front deck and cheerful entry to the bright, spacious interior, this home strikes the perfect balance of character and comfort. Rare for its era, the home features 9-foot ceilings that enhance the airy feel throughout, while triple-pane windows provide impressive energy efficiency and peaceful insulation from the outside world. Inside, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms, a spacious living room, dedicated laundry room, walk-in pantry, and an updated kitchen complete with newer appliances, cabinetry, and countertops. Major system upgrades — including Hardie Plank siding, newer roof, water heater, gas furnace, central A/C, and professionally installed steel foundation posts with transferable 20-year warranty — offer peace of mind for years to come. Step outside and discover a backyard built for summer living. The fully fenced yard features a brand-new concrete patio, raised and in-ground garden beds, and thriving landscaping supported by ideal southern exposure. Fruit-bearing trees and bushes — including blueberry, plum, and cherry — create your own urban garden retreat. Need space for hobbies, gear, or just extra parking? The attached garage, long driveway, and storage shed provide exceptional flexibility and storage rarely found at this price point. And the location? Convenient to everything that makes SW Portland special — whether it’s hiking in Tryon Creek State Park, grabbing coffee in Multnomah Village, dinner at Momiji Sushi, or an easy commute downtown. Freshly painted inside and out, this move-in-ready cottage is ready to welcome you home!
