The main level showcases original hardwood floors, a freshly repainted interior, and a welcoming living room anchored by a fireplace that adds warmth and definition to the space. The updated kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a functional layout for everyday living. The primary bedroom provides direct exterior access to a covered deck, leading down to the yard. Downstairs, the basement presents excellent flexibility with strong potential to add an additional bedroom and bathroom, supporting expanded living, guest accommodations, or long-term value growth. Outside, the fully fenced backyard benefits from the recent removal of a large tree, opening the space to increased sunlight while creating a more usable and versatile setting. A spacious patio sets the stage for outdoor dining, gatherings, gardening, or play, and the attached garage with dedicated storage adds everyday convenience. Positioned near neighborhood parks, local shops, dining, and key commuter routes, this well-maintained home delivers comfort, functionality, and opportunity in one of North Portland’s consistently desirable communities.
