Designed for comfortable, efficient living, this cozy home nestled in the popular Montavilla neighborhood has plenty of charm to spare. Many recent updates, including new floors, new gutters, and a new roof! A skylight in the living room invites the natural light, creating a cheerful retreat. The open kitchen feels modern and sleek, with sufficient cupboard and counter space for breezy meal prep...and stainless steel appliances are always a perk. A generously-sized bedroom provides a welcome respite from a busy day, while the bathroom is a roomy blank slate for your personal style. Keep your living areas clutter-free with ample storage space in the basement. A newly installed patio overlooking the private, fenced backyard is a happy oasis for gatherings with friends, summer BBQs, or playing with your pets, and there’s plenty of room for developing your dream vegetable garden as well. There’s additional storage potential in the detached garage...or maybe it’s time to finally pick up that paint brush and get creative in an art studio? You’ll love living in Montavilla, with some of Portland’s most iconic restaurants, cafes, and shops, and a thriving farmers market. Close to Fred Meyer and Winco for stocking up, and commuting and transit are easily accessed...plus there’s a bike score of 95, if that’s how you roll. This home is a fantastic opportunity to get started, downsize, or just embrace a lifestyle of convenience. [Home Energy Score = 5. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10231896]
