This charming, updated Columbia City bungalow offers a rare combination of immediate rental income, privacy, and future potential. Set on a private lot with fresh landscaping, new plantings, and two off-street parking spaces, the home has an efficient, thoughtfully designed layout with additional basement space for storage, hobbies, or future improvements. The outdoor space is a standout, with a spacious rear yard offering room to garden, entertain, play, or simply enjoy a little extra breathing room in the city. A three-season sunroom with removable panels creates an inviting extension of the living space and a comfortable spot to relax throughout much of the year. The property also offers flexibility for RV or boat parking and additional future use. For buyers thinking longer term, DADU plans, survey, and geotechnical work are included and ready to submit to the City for review, providing a valuable head start toward potential expansion or additional housing. Currently tenant-occupied and generating $3,000 per month, this is an appealing opportunity for an investor seeking income today with the flexibility to enhance, expand, or reimagine the property over time.
